PlanSource’s employer benefit partners cover all the categories needed to remain a competitive employer in the modern job market – from chronic disease management and employee assistance programs, mental health programs and travel benefits to home programs and chronic disease management programs.

Customers who offer these benefits to their employees receive a streamlined onboarding process with templated plan design and an optimized employee shopping experience to drive engagement, making it easier to launch and offer these programs to employees. Employees can easily shop for and select these benefits within the PlanSource shopping experience. Dani Engleking, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Givinga, one of PlanSource’s original Marketplace partners, attests that “what differentiates PlanSource is how you present these innovative value-added products on that Partner Marketplace. Plus, making sure that everyone is aligned in the same mission to make sure employees are getting the best benefits.”

“There are thousands of providers in the market relevant to employers and brokers today. While choice and competition are important, too much creates buyer confusion, inefficiencies and not having scale in launching the products risks a poor employee experience,” said Bradley Taylor, Chief Strategy Officer at PlanSource. “To combat these market pressures, PlanSource is curating this list of top vendors covering the entire benefits ecosystem to provide a better overall broker, customer and employee experience. We can empower our broker community to promote and design unique benefit strategies for the customers they serve.”
