Insurer named an inaugural Workday Wellness Partner

The Hartford, a leading provider of employee benefits and absence management services, is enhancing its relationship with Workday, Inc., a leading provider of solutions to help organizations manage their people and money, by becoming a strategic Workday Wellness partner.

Workday Wellness, an AI-powered solution, will be designed to connect employers and employees to top wellness partners, offering a highly personalized experience that reduces costs and administration hours. Leveraging Illuminate and Workday Peakon Employee Voice, it will provide companies with real-time insights into which benefits and wellness offerings their employees want and use so they can improve programs and seamlessly add new offerings.

“Our employee benefits customers strategically invest their time and resources into human resources technology solutions to manage their benefits and enhance employee well-being, and we are dedicated to helping them maximize their investments,” said Mike Fish, head of Group Benefits at The Hartford. “We look forward to collaborating as a strategic partner with Workday to provide a differentiated end-to-end benefits experience for our shared customers.”

This new strategic partnership furthers The Hartford’s current relationship with Workday, as an Innovation Partner, and will enable employer-customers of both companies to benefit from faster data integrations, comprehensive implementation support, and real-time data exchange. Workday Wellness will further help employers measure effectiveness and adapt their benefits to better meet their employees’ needs.

The Hartford’s 2024 Future of Benefits study shows Human Resources (HR) professionals are faced with a surge in accountabilities, with 62% saying their day-to-day responsibilities have increased in the past few years. Most (82%) say HR technology has made it easier to do their job and 83% say HR technology should simplify information for them and their employees.
