“Prudential offers much more than products. It provides solutions that support and protect individuals’ financial stability. These are particularly critical when unplanned events like illness or loss of a loved one occur,” said Leston Welsh, head of products for Prudential Group Insurance. “We know that an efficient, low-stress customer experience is key to ensuring that our solutions work for individuals when they need them most. Partnering with PlanSource allows us to simplify and improve how customers interact with us.”

Benefits play a significant role in attracting and retaining top performers. A recent Prudential study shows American workers are putting more thought into choosing annual benefits. Through Boost, PlanSource is optimizing the employee shopping and enrollment experience for the products offered by Boost carriers, incorporating best practices and relevant content to help consumers select the benefits that are right for them.
