BTR:

What is Paylocity’s claim to fame?

Paylocity:

Paylocity is unique in that it doesn’t specialize in any vertical, rather Paylocity is able to serve any employers of all sizes and types. Paylocity has grown from a focus on Payroll services to a single HCM platform.

BTR:

What can Paylocity do for employers?

Paylocity:

Paylocity is a web-based system with the ability to integrate and scale as companies grow. We recognize that employers need a system that will fit their organization’s needs; we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

BTR:

Share about your integrations!

Paylocity:

Paylocity is always looking at innovative integrations to provide solutions for employers across the market. Our open integration strategy allows for flexibility to integrate with outside vendors for things like retirement plan providers, benefits administration tools, applicant tracking, time & labor, and more. We surveyed our clients for their needs and continue to focus on the integration developments our clientele are desiring.

BTR:

How is Paylocity managing its data security?

Paylocity:

Since Paylocity is a publicly-traded organization, we maintain compliance with ongoing security and control audits. Our system is based with 256 encryptions which is twice the level that banks are required to apply for their technologies. We’re committed to 99% uptime to allow our clients to have maximum access to their data and processes.

BTR:

What is on Paylocity’s roadmap?

Paylocity:

We recognize that the Pandemic shifted workforces to focus on collaboration and community, so we continuously enhance our core HR functionalities and developing new software like internal messaging and video chat, collaborative document storage, and more. Engagement is a growing key focus for business leaders, so Paylocity is proactively enhancing their solutions to allow for employers to keep connected with their employee base. Paylocity is also continuously expanding their product offerings to facilitate the ability for employers to innovate in how they serve their employees.

BTR:

What is Guardian great at? Give us the 411.

Guardian:

Guardian has been in business for 160 years and is proud to bring a broad offering of comprehensive solutions aimed at supporting the overall wholistic wellness. Guardian regards personal wellness to include “Mind, Body, & Wallet” and focuses their endeavors to support all three areas. Guardian also targets their partnerships specifically to provide tools that provide the ability to simplify benefits management overall.

BTR:

What’s big and exciting for Guardian right now?

Guardian:

We are developing more APIs for our Guardian Access API Program. The program facilitates quick implementation of connections and supports enrollment accuracy with a keen focus on integration with ben admin systems and other HR technologies.

Guardian currently has 4 Key APIs which are designed to enhance the employee enrollment experience:

• Member API – Transmits employee demographic & eligibility information to Guardian
• Plan Level API – Facilitates plan configuration so that system rules match the plan rules
• EOI API – Enables an instant insurability decision at time of enrollment
• Provider Directory API – Employees can search for providers within the ben admin system

Guardian is also working to improve connectivity across all benefits. Guardian is focusing on employee education & awareness about their enrolled products, with the aim of improving the employee’s experience in using their insurance. A new, innovative partnership with Naya Health enhances the employee experience with decision support at point of enrollment by providing a data centric view of utilization and education.

Guardian believes that a connectivity strategy is needed by all industries – technology is the tie that binds for most companies.

BTR: What’s on Guardian’s Technology Roadmap?

Guardian:

Guardian is excited to release a Member level & Plan level API with ADP WorkForce Now toward the end of 2022.

Guardian is currently acting as its own test client for an EOI API with Workday and will release more APIs with Workday in the future.

BTR: What else would you like to share?

Guardian:

Guardian is a big fan of the Enrollment Support available through BTR’s partnership with iBenefit Communication. Having 1-on-1 direct support to help an employee with their benefits package not only humanizes the benefits enrollment experience, but it also supports data validation at the point of enrollment.

It’s also awesome to have iBenefit on board because their support is ideal for multi-generational workplaces. Gen Z is starting to make benefits decisions – even though they are fluent with technology, they still need a person to simplify and guide their choices. Gen X doesn’t want help but can struggle with technology so they need a human to support their utilization of the technology. Guardian appreciates iBenefit’s ability to solve for a broad scope of cross-generational needs.
