My organization uses BerniePortal as the central hub for all employee benefits selection and documentation. Employees can make their plan choices on the portal during enrollment, and can view their current plans and past elections at any point.

Pros

  • Easy to compare current and past elections
  • Centralizes all the documents relevant to benefit plans
  • Site layout is minimal and easy to navigate

Cons

  • The only time it is possible to compare plans and costs is during an enrollment period. It would be great to have a feature to allow this comparison at other points in the year

Return on Investment

  • Provides a simple and intuitive benefits selection platform
  • Consolidates all plan information in a single, accessible place
