For HR teams
Benefits Decision Support for HR Teams
HR usually isn't in a position to tell an employee which benefit they should choose. That's why open enrollment produces so many questions nobody is allowed to answer. Help Me Choose Benefits does that part, using the strategy you and your broker already built together.
During enrollment
A quieter open enrollment
Employees get a personal answer at the moment they’re deciding, instead of emailing HR. They answer a short, anonymous survey and, in about four minutes, get a recommendation that explains why each benefit fits someone in their situation, and when they can skip one.
Privacy and setup
Nothing to explain to legal or IT
01
No personal data
Employees never give a name, Social Security number, employee ID or login, so there’s nothing to expose in a breach and nothing for employees to worry about. Read more about how HMCB works without personal data or integration.
02
No integration
No data file, no IT ticket and no maintenance. Employees open HMCB from a link or QR code, then enroll in your existing system.
03
Built for small teams
If one person handles benefits alongside payroll, this is designed for them. You provide the benefits summary you give new hires, and your broker helps set the recommendation logic.
Reporting
Proof your benefits spend is working
A dashboard shows completions and what’s being recommended while enrollment is open, so you can follow up where engagement is low. When enrollment closes, you have something to show leadership: how many employees used it and where participation moved.

For the whole workforce
HMCB is available in English, Spanish and French and works on a phone, so it reaches warehouse, field and office employees alike. It covers medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA, FSA, HRA, 401(k) and voluntary benefits.
Why it matters
The uncomfortable truth
You can spend months building a strong benefits package, and it won’t matter if employees don’t understand how it applies to them.
