Snowdrop U-Accessbenefits is a powerful online employee benefits administration system that allows complete control for managing employee benefit information and securely displaying this to employees. What this means for employees U-Accessbenefits gives employees instant access to their benefit information, including in-depth benefit descriptions, supporting calculations, street value comparisons and 'actual' worth in monetary terms. With U-Accessbenefits employees know exactly what they have in their 'pot' at any time and can make an informed decision to the value they perceive it offers them as part of their overall package. What's more, employees can project future growth and forecast 'what if' scenarios for benefits, such as shares and pensions from within the solution, so they can judge what the future offers them. What this means for the rest of the business By making employees more aware of their total reward package you are facilitating a very important awareness campaign so that employees understand the total value in monetary terms that they gain from working for you. Assuming that the benefits offered are of 'value' to employees, this can be instrumental in helping you retain talented people. Line managers can access benefit information of their own subordinates, which allows them to market an employee's package correctly and make more informed decisions at salary reviews. Additionally HR can benefit from powerful reporting functionality to assess take-up of benefits to facilitate decision making. U-Accessbenefits eases the administration associated with benefits packages by reducing the amount of requests for information by employees and updating any changes. Employees can be made more responsible for ensuring accuracy of information regarding items, such as dependants and beneficiaries. For those organisations that require flexible options for employees, U-Accessbenefits can also reduce administration by allocating bulk benefits to employees based on criteria such as age, length of service, grade etc. For those with a more standard Benefits package, a searchable policy can be uploaded and accessible from within the U-Accessbenefits solution itself An optional 'Voluntary benefits' portal gives employees instant access to specifically negotiated discounts and offers from a wide range of providers negotiated by ourselves. It's likely you'll wish to build upon this with local suppliers but this gives you a very good head start with no effort required. Additionally a financial education & information portal can be deployed as part of U-Accessbenefits. This helps employees with everything from questions about tax & inheritance planning, to mortgages & pensions. It also provides helpful calculators and tools for budgeting, car finance, understanding your tax code, company car tax, savings and life assurance. This offers your employees a valuable information resource, whilst also reducing queries to HR.
