Improving Benefits Administration with GoFormz

How to improve your benefits programs with digital forms

Now more than ever, people want personalized and meaningful experiences in their work–especially when it comes to their employee benefits. Employees want to feel truly known and heard throughout the year, not only during benefits enrollment. In this age of remote work, a gap exists between what employers think employees want and what employees are actually looking for.

Our new research found that 71% of employers think their benefits packages are better than competitors’ offerings, yet only 55% of workers agree.

A recent study found that 59% of U.S. workers believe it would be easy to find a new job. Thus, more and more businesses are relying on employee benefits to stand out and keep employees around. It’s safe to say that human resources departments have their work cut out for them.

So how can HR teams move beyond ordinary employee benefits and create employee programs that will recruit and retain top talent–all while boosting productivity? Learn how to improve and modernize your employee benefits with GoFormz digital forms and data capture.

Take a Proactive Approach

When it comes to employee benefits, most companies take a reactive approach. They only add or change benefits after something goes wrong. But by then, employees are unhappy and have less trust in their management. Instead, take a proactive approach with GoFormz online forms.

Employee filling out a survey on their computer

With GoFormz, it’s easy to digitize and customize surveys to see what your employees are looking for in their benefits. Simply upload a PDF or image of your existing survey or create a new survey from scratch! Once it’s ready to go, GoFormz creates a shareable link to easily distribute your digital survey. Employees can then access their survey on any phone, tablet, or computer–no specialized software is required. 

The best part? Once submitted, surveys are instantly ready to review. This is especially important when it comes to personalized benefits. Meeting employees where they are in life makes them feel seen and understood. It can also help them better understand the value of the benefits being offered to them. These insights can help your HR department anticipate concerns and take action before problems arise.

Automate Your Manual Processes

Between onboarding and employee retention, human resources teams have enough to worry about. Make your life and your coworkers’ lives easier with upgraded technology. Take those proactive polls and use GoFormz to upload, track, and interpret the results in real time. With GoFormz data capture, you can save time and focus more on customizing benefits to meet your employees’ needs.

Some benefits of GoFormz automated processes:

  1. Increased Productivity: One of the most obvious advantages of automation is a boost in productivity! Handing off repetitive tasks, like manual gathering surveys, means more production and less wasted time. 

  2. Better Cost-Savings: By automating repetitive tasks, your company can also save money. The hours and wages spent on tedious processes can now be reinvested into benefit programs that will make a larger impact.

  3. Reduced Errors: From losing a contract to filling out entries incorrectly, GoFormz can greatly reduce everyday human errors. GoFormz Workflows can automate form uploads and make Required entries.

  4. Efficient Authentication: A signature is a vital part of any form. With the GoFormz signature form, instantly collect signatures from your employees once they review and approve their benefits.

Make Informed Decisions with Data-Driven Insights

When it comes to benefits, employees want options. No two employees are the same, nor do they have the same needs. This is why 93% of employees say the ability to customize their benefits is a “must have” or “nice to have” option. HR departments can use data-driven analytics to make better decisions and foster greater employee well-being. 

Your employee wellness program should have perks and benefits that reflect the needs and wants of your employees. With GoFormz, your HR department can securely gather medical history forms, records, surveys, and more. This information can be used to tailor benefits packages that meet the specific needs of each employee.
