Enterprises struggling with the automation of HR payroll benefits transactions either have an inadequate solution in place or have gone through ineffective implementation processes that seldom drive the business forward. For instance, if the HR department is not well automated, it is difficult to focus on essential tasks such as developing existing talent or recruiting new skilled workforces. At this juncture, Alera Group provides innovative, strategic benefit planning services that help employers evaluate their current needs, explore new opportunities, and identify goals for the future. The company serves a fair share of small-sized businesses across different industries and strives to provide the best possible solution that supports clients consistently in their enterprise journey. “We are completely objective about our approach, and we make our decision without regard for an alliance or a financial arrangement,” states Jamie Honigman, Managing Partner of HR InTune, an Alera Group company.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, in-person meetings and print communications are no longer effective in reaching out to remote employees. Traditional methods are outdated, and companies are in dire need of exploring better ways to collaborate with their multi-generational workforce through the latest means of communication. Alera Group supports its clients by partnering with them in finding the appropriate systems to achieve the desired goals. It ensures that clients are able to both retain and attract new employees efficiently. “Our goal is not just to help our clients when it comes to benefits strategy, but also ensure they offer great experiences to their employees,” states Brian Parker, Vice President of Employee Benefits Technology and Services at Alera Group.

We ensure that the client’s needs are met with a scalable solution that grows and evolves with them while meeting their employee benefits and technology journey

As a consultant company, Alera Group boasts of highly experienced HR consultants that help clients with HR automation and focus on understanding their varied set of challenges and shortcomings, alongside preparing for long- and short-term goals. The team reengineers HR processes to operate in a streamlined fashion while upholding the highest compliant standards and resolving any discrepancy that may arise within the enterprise workflow. ”It is all about not having a predetermined set of conclusions, understanding clients’ idea of success for their organization, and bringing in the right providers to facilitate this workflow,” adds Parker. Further, the firm searches for best-in breed technology solutions providers and recommend sits action plans for implementation depending on where clients stand with their development process.

Successively, Alera Group proposes a detailed project plan depicting how it could help clients incorporate the best and most appropriate solutions to meet their goals while coming up with actionable deliverables. “We do not own any technology, but we ensure that the client’s needs are met with a scalable solution that grows and evolves with them while addressing their employee benefits and technology journey,” adds Honigman. For instance, a firm based in New York City had over 120 employees all over the country, and they were looking to substitute their professional employer organization (PEO) partner. Alera Group provided HR automation and service to the client and replaced every aspect of the PEO. Ultimately, the client could save more than twenty percent of their spending on benefits and premiums while enhancing their employee experience.

Alera Group was created by merging a large number of high-performing, entrepreneurial offices across the United States, and it is one of the largest employee benefits firms serving thousands of clients nationally. As a renowned consulting house, the company helps its clients with nationwide resources paired with local and personalized service. The firm is keen on acquiring the best companies to complement what it currently offers and catalyze further growth.
