The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America® (Guardian) has partnered with PrismHR, a leading technology provider for professional employer organizations (PEOs), to introduce two all-new application programming interface (API) connections. The collaboration makes Guardian the first benefits carrier to offer an API through PrismHR.
With the new APIs, PEOs can reduce the complexity of benefits administration by delivering instant data syncing, making it easier to transmit employee enrollments and support benefits utilization—ultimately helping to foster a better worksite employee benefits experience.
The APIs include:
- Policy API: Automates plan details and rates in the benefits administration platform, facilitating quick and accurate plan setup to reduce administrative burdens and minimize errors.
- Worksite Employee Benefit API: Instantly transfers worksite employee data and benefit election changes, speeding up plan setup from weeks to days and offering immediate access to up-to-date eligibility and billing information.
Enhancements to benefits administration can have a significant impact on both PEO members and worksite employees. Among PEO members who use APIs, 89% said they’ve made measurable efficiency gains with the technology. For employees, more than three-quarters of those with a digital benefits enrollment process report high levels of satisfaction. Further, more than half (53%) of employees with a highly digital benefits experience say their employer cares about their well-being, compared to just 38% of those who use a paper-based process.
“As PEOs expand their reach, role, and impact, managing worksite employee benefits has become more complex,” said Anna Roberts, Head of Digital Strategy and Offerings at Guardian. “We’re excited to partner with PrismHR to help simplify worksite benefits administration for PEOs, saving clients hundreds of hours in processing time annually while also enhancing accuracy. As a result, PEOs can focus on ensuring worksite employees are making the most of their benefit elections and supporting their well-being.”
“We’re eager to partner with Guardian in tackling the unique challenges PEOs face when it comes to benefits administration,” said Dan Thompson, Chief Benefits Officer at PrismHR. “By harnessing innovative technology together, we’re empowering PEOs to streamline processes and help worksites thrive.”
