From Overwhelm to Efficiency: Solving Point Solution Fatigue
Insurance brokers are no strangers to the wide array of point solutions available in today’s market.
From claims management software to customer relationship management tools, there seems to be an option for every aspect of the insurance industry. However, as the number of choices continues to grow, so does the phenomenon known as “point solution fatigue.” This refers to the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and frustration that can arise from the constant search for the right organizational fit. We know you want to offer your clients the best possible service, but it can be challenging to navigate and evaluate everything available. In this blog, we’ll explore the causes of point solution fatigue, its impact on your business, and strategies to overcome it and streamline your operations. So, if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless search for the right choice, read on for some helpful insights.
The growing number of options in the market is one of the main causes of point solution fatigue.
The sheer volume of choices available can be overwhelming, making it difficult for brokers to determine which solutions are best suited for their clients. Additionally, the process of evaluating, testing, and implementing new solutions can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, further contributing to feelings of fatigue and frustration. Another factor is the lack of standardization across different point solutions, which can make it challenging to integrate them into existing workflows and systems. These factors combined can create a perfect storm of point solution fatigue for brokers in the insurance industry. As a broker, you can help reduce point solution fatigue for your clients by partnering with New Benefits, a leading aggregator and producer of modern and vetted non-insured benefits designed to support the well-being of America’s workforce. What’s more, New Benefits is integrated with Employee Navigator, making it even easier for you to offer a comprehensive benefits package.
By leveraging New Benefits’ options, you can provide your clients with a one-stop-shop for a wide range of vetted and useful non-insured benefits.
This simplifies the process of accessing benefits for employees, who no longer need to navigate multiple choices for different benefits.
