Omaha, Neb. – (September 24, 2010) Mutual of Omaha, a leading provider of group benefits, has announced a new online enrollment system that will expand the personalization of services the company provides to support voluntary insurance enrollment.
With the addition of this system, employees will receive more compelling and consistent needs-based communication about their employer's specific benefit offerings, as well as the ability to enroll online. This will complement existing enrollment methods.
The enhanced online enrollment option will also:
- Streamline the creation of personalized enrollment materials (both paper and web)
- Enhance online options for open enrollment and new hire periods
- Offer a wide range of tracking and reporting options for employers and their benefit brokers
- Reinforce the need for coverage before prompting an employee to enroll or decline
Other benefits include a secure environment for confidential employee information, a portal for new hires and additional flexibility in coordinating benefit enrollment events with core plan enrollment periods.
"Improving our online enrollment options satisfies the enrollment needs of the increasing number of employers that have workers dispersed across several locations, and employees who are unable to attend a group meeting," said Marty Traynor, Mutual of Omaha vice president of Voluntary Benefits. "We're keenly aware of the challenges employers are facing in light of the economy. We respect their desire to provide benefit options to their employees in the formats that work best for the individuals."
Founded in 1909, Mutual of Omaha is a full-service, multi-line provider of insurance and financial services products for individuals, businesses and groups throughout the United States.
