SterlingRisk Insurance, a privately owned insurance brokerage firm, has formed a strategic partnership with Maxwell Health to provide their top-line operating system for employee benefits to SterlingRisk clients.
Maxwell’s mobile-enabled platform simplifies benefits enrollment and administration, provides centralized access health and benefits services for consumers and leverages data from those services to provide better, more informed health solutions.
Maxwell Health is a revolutionary Health-as-a-Service platform, featuring a beautifully designed user interface and an intuitive, lifestyle-based system for bundling employee benefits.
With Maxwell, an employer can combine traditional insurance benefits with best-in-class wellness products including industry-leading concierge service Health Advocate, telemedicine solution Doctor on Demand, child, pet, home and senior care services through Care.com, healthy meal delivery through HelloFresh, identity theft protection and resolution services from ID Watchdog, online wellness and fitness classes via Powhow and at-home health screening and analysis from BioIQ. These partners will be joined by several other best-in-class services, to be announced soon.
The platform is also a comprehensive benefits administration solution for HR administrators and supports complex benefits strategies for groups of any size. Maxwell integrates with leading payroll solutions, The Online 401(k) for retirement savings, ConnectYourCare and Discovery Benefits for HRA, HSA, FSA, commuter benefits and COBRA services and best-in-class HRIS, including BambooHR, Tribe HR and SilkRoad.
Maxwell also engages employees after benefits enrollment through an intuitive mobile app and turnkey wellness program that connects them to their benefits, simplifies navigating the healthcare system and incentivizes healthy, balanced lifestyles.
By streaming in employee fitness data through market-leading Jawbone UP and Fitbit fitness devices, the Maxwell app provides contextualized, relevant feedback to employees, and its in-app social layer includes challenges and company leaderboards. The rewards program is easy to implement and allows employers to reward healthy behaviors through gift cards or nonprofit donations.
