    VIMA helped a multi-branch BFSI company replace shared, fragmented support with a named Account Manager backed by claims and operations teams. Employee awareness-session attendance increased threefold, and a wellness program was introduced within the first quarter.

    After policy issuance, employee and HR queries were routed through a shared mailbox or call center. There was no single relationship owner, limited employee education and no wellness program connected to the insurance benefits.

    The Challenge

    • No dedicated Account Manager accountable for the relationship
    • Employees received little education on how to use their benefits
    • Wellness initiatives were not integrated into the program
    • Shared support channels created inconsistent ownership and continuity

    • Ongoing coordination across servicing, claims, finance and renewal

    Frequently asked questions

    What does an employee benefits Account Manager do?

    An Account Manager coordinates policy servicing, endorsements, claims, insurer communication, employee education, finance documentation and renewal preparation. The role gives HR one accountable owner across the program.

    How do employee awareness sessions improve benefit utilization?

    Awareness sessions explain coverage, exclusions, claims processes and support channels. Employees are more likely to use the policy correctly, while HR receives fewer repetitive administrative questions.

    Can wellness services be included in an employee benefits program?

    Yes. Preventive screenings, mental health support, telehealth, fitness initiatives and health education can be integrated alongside insurance, depending on the employer's workforce needs and program design.

    What is the difference between a shared helpdesk and a named partner?

    A shared helpdesk handles individual tickets. A named partner retains context, owns outcomes across teams, monitors recurring issues and supports HR throughout the policy year rather than only during claims or renewal.
