Giving Benefits the White-Glove Treatment for Hospitality and Retail Employers

How does your benefits experience stack up against your peers?

Businessolver supports benefits for over 450,000 employees in the retail and hospitality industry. While no two employeesโ€™ health and benefits needs are the same, our data shows us that 8 in 10 employees are confused about their benefits. And it has cascading effects.

Here are some of the top challenges retail and hospitality employers face among their workforce. These employees need help:

  • Enrolling in or understanding financial wellbeing resources available to them
  • Accessing support after hours or on weekends
  • Being able to self-serve with their benefits without needing to call in or email for help
  • Engaging with their benefits year-round and on-the-go
