Businessolver expands Pinnacle Partner program with Career Highways, advancing a new standard for employee career health and benefits intelligence 

This new partnership connects benefits, career growth, skills intelligence and workforce planning to help employers build more transparent skills-based organizations 

Businessolver®, the leader in anticipatory benefits and HR technology, expands the Pinnacle Partners program with Career Highways, the leader in AI-powered skills-based workforce intelligence and career pathway technology. The partnership adds career health to Businessolver’s extensive lineup of voluntary carriers and point solutions.  

“We’re excited to bring even more wellbeing options to our clients with the addition of Career Highways,” said Jen Greean, Director of Partner Relations at Businessolver. “Intentional career progression and talent retention is an important part of helping our clients deliver better outcomes for their employees and their organizations.” 

More organizations are recognizing career health as a new model for connecting benefits, career development, decision-making, workforce intelligence and planning into a more unified system for total wellbeing. Through Businessolver’s Pinnacle Partner Program, Career Highways offers a high-impact, enterprise-ready product that extends value beyond traditional benefits administration, enabling organizations to connect benefits engagement with career trajectory, skills development, and workforce planning.  

“Organizations are suddenly finding themselves in a new era where benefits, careers, and workforce planning can no longer operate in separate systems,” said Liz Eversoll, CEO at Career Highways. “Career Highways and Businessolver unifies those domains giving employers a single, intelligent framework to drive engagement, retention, and internal mobility at scale. The partnership demonstrates how AI can be used in a practical, people-centered way to improve transparency, strengthen retention and create more meaningful career mobility.” 

Defining the Career Health Category 

The partnership addresses a critical gap in the market: While benefits platforms and HR systems provide transactional support, they do not connect career trajectory, skills, and long-term workforce decisions. 

Career Highways and Businessolver close that gap by delivering a unified intelligence layer that: 

• Connects career pathways, skills, and workforce data with benefits and financial decisions 
• Enables employees to make informed, forward-looking decisions about their careers and wellbeing 
• Provides employers with real-time visibility into workforce capabilities, gaps, and risks 
• Transforms benefits platforms into continuous engagement and decision intelligence systems 

This integrated model defines career health—a new approach to managing workforce performance, employee growth, and long-term organizational outcomes. 

“Career Highways has given us a consistent skills intelligence foundation for defining roles, aligning skills, and empowering employees to understand their career opportunities, accelerating our job architecture and strengthening how we develop and plan our workforce,” said Dr. Ashley Ellis, Vice President of Employee Engagement at Businessolver.  

Businessolver, who collaborates with Fortune 500 companies including Aflac, MetLife, Cigna, The Hartford and Prudential amongst many others, partnered with Career Highways to modernize its job architecture and establish a consistent foundation for roles, skills and career pathways across the enterprise. Using Career Highways’ AI-driven skills intelligence platform, Businessolver standardized role definitions, accelerated the creation and normalization of job descriptions and gave employees clearer visibility into the skills required for current and future roles. 

Delivering Measurable Workforce Outcomes 

The partnership builds on Career Highways’ successful enterprise implementation within Businessolver. By deploying Career Highways’ AI-powered platform, Businessolver established a scalable, skills-based foundation across its workforce, resulting in: 

• 75% faster job architecture implementation, reducing timelines from over 12 months to approximately 3 months 
• 95% reduction in manual role and skills creation effort 
• 2–4 hours saved per role through automation 
• 95% of employees reporting improved understanding of career pathways and required skills 

Extending Benefits into Workforce Intelligence 

As a Pinnacle Partner, Career Highways integrates into Businessolver’s ecosystem to extend benefits platforms into career health and workforce intelligence systems. Together, the companies enable organizations to: 

• Align benefits with career stage, progression, and future trajectory 
• Drive internal mobility and reskilling through transparent career pathways 
• Improve retention and engagement by reducing career ambiguity 
• Optimize workforce investment decisions with integrated intelligence 
• Deliver enterprise-level insights across workforce cost, productivity, and risk 

This collaboration reflects a broader shift in HR technology—from fragmented systems to unified intelligence platforms that support both employee decisions and enterprise strategy.
