Managing your employee benefits can be overwhelming. Chasing providers across separate portals, maintaining spreadsheets that are out of date the moment you update them, and fielding email after email when someone joins or leaves; it all mounts up. But you’re not alone.
For most HR teams and finance leads, benefits admin has become one of the most time-consuming parts of the job. In fact, 43.3%* spend between 6–20 hours per month managing benefits administration. For teams already balancing recruitment, compliance and employee engagement, that’s a significant time drain.
Why Benefits Admin Becomes Such a Headache
The problem usually isn’t any single benefit; it’s that your benefits have grown organically over time, and each one lives in its own silo. Your Workplace Pension sits in one provider portal. Group Life Insurance is managed through another. Private Medical Cover is handled via a separate login. Joiners and leavers are tracked on a spreadsheet that only one person truly understands.
The result is hours spent every month on manual data entry, chasing confirmations, and trying to keep everything in sync. And when things fall through the cracks (an employee not enrolled on time, a leaver still accruing benefits) it becomes a compliance risk as well as an admin headache.
An Employee Benefits Platform Brings Everything Together
Everything changes when you have one single system to manage your employee benefits. My.Drewberry is our online employee benefits platform, built to give employers one central place to manage all their employee benefits, rather than juggling a dozen different logins and spreadsheets.
Here’s what it does:
- One platform for pensions, protection and health
Instead of logging into separate portals for your Workplace Pension, Group Life Insurance, Income Protection, and Private Medical Insurance, My.Drewberry brings them all together in a single dashboard. Your full benefits picture, in one place.
- Automated joiner and leaver management
When a new employee joins or someone leaves the business, My.Drewberry helps automate the enrolment and removal process across your benefits. No more chasing providers individually or worrying that someone has slipped through the net.
- Total Reward Statements for every employee
Employees often undervalue their benefits because they don’t see the full picture. My.Drewberry generates Total Reward Statements that show each employee the true value of their package (salary plus pension, insurance, health cover and more), helping you get more engagement from the benefits you’re already paying for.
- Less admin, lower compliance risk
With benefits data held centrally and processes automated, you reduce the manual errors and gaps that create compliance exposure. Everything is documented, auditable and up to date.
Whether you’re a growing SME looking to bring order to a benefits package that’s become hard to manage, or a larger business wanting better visibility and reporting, my.Drewberry is built to save you time and give employees a clearer view of what they receive.
