| Benefits Management Benchmark |
 |
|
NuView Systems and the Aberdeen Group
co-sponsored a study entitled Benefits Management Benchmark:
Technology Automation and Employee Self-Service
|
The study revealed that the most
critical drivers for improving benefit management systems
include:
• Lowering the employee cost
•
Lowering HR administrative burden
• Improving employee
satisfaction and retention (using systems as a retention
tool) |
To address these needs, the report looked at
benefits management purposes, capabilities and progress experienced by
companies of all sizes. Findings were based on this benchmark survey,
which was conducted in November, 2006, with 137 companies
participating
About 28% of respondents were Vice Presidents
or C-level Executives, with most other respondents at a Director or
Manager level in their respective functions.

NuView Systems is investing in
protection of your data. The company has taken the time and effort
to acquire both the SAS 70 Type 1 Certification and Safe
Harbor Certification.
Having a SAS 70 certification reflects
that the company has been through an in-depth audit of their control
activities, which must be fully documented, covering areas such as
work environment, escalations, information technology, access to
data, and related monitoring and auditing processes. NuView
communicates the Type I certification through a Service Auditor's
Report. The service auditor expresses an opinion on:
• Whether the service
organization's description of its controls presents fairly, in all
material respects, the relevant aspects of the service
organization's controls that had been placed in operation as of a
specific date.
• Whether the controls were suitably
designed to achieve specified control objectives.
SAS 70 Type II certification is
currently in its final stages and we anticipate a July 1 or
thereabouts final certification.
In Type II, the service auditor
expresses an opinion on the same items noted above in a Type I
report, and whether the controls that were tested were operating
with sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that the control objectives were achieved during
the period specified.

Outside of the U.S., having a Safe
Harbor Certification assures that your company provides "adequate"
privacy protection. To obtain this certification, an organization
must comply with the seven safe harbor principles.
Safe Harbor is an important way for
U.S. companies to avoid experiencing interruptions in their business
dealings with the European Union or facing prosecution.

Survey Results:
|
What if there was a way to reduce
costs for both the Organization and the employee, while also
improving over all employee
recruitment and retention? Well,
there is a way!
A recent survey, conducted by Aberdeen
Group and NuView Systems, revealed that 41 % of respondents report
that automating benefits enrollment and life change submissions
through employee online self service is a primary goal for dealing
with benefits management.
Nationwide, organizations are finding
that automating their benefit management strategies is reducing
employee healthcare costs and the administrative burden on HR staff.
Employee satisfaction and lessening the
burden of HR administration, although important, are not the only
advantages to benefit automation.
