- 2 Control cost
- 3 Streamline administration
- 4 Reduce risk
Provide your employees with an engaging and accessible digital benefits experience – wherever they’re based.
- Make benefits a breeze
As a single global platform, Darwin gives your people a consistently great experience - no matter where in the world they are. It makes it quick and easy for your people to learn about, enrol in and manage their benefits.
- Always relevant and inclusive
Reinforce your employee value proposition at every step of the benefits journey. Personalised total reward content emphasises the investment you make in each employee as an individual and showcases what it means to work for you, boosting employee satisfaction and increasing productivity.
- Connect with your employees
Be there for your people at the moments that matter. Darwin makes it easy to send targeted and engaging communications to your employees. Automatically connect at key points in their professional and personal lives, suggesting relevant benefits and reminding them that you have their back.
- Turn art into science
Take guesswork out of the equation. Darwin’s powerful analytics give you the full picture of how engaged your workforce is. Demographic analysis pinpoints areas for improvement enabling you to take corrective action and keep engagement high.
For most businesses, benefits are a major outgoing, comprising around 20% of total payroll costs. Maximise your return on this investment with increased benefit take-up, greater benefit administration efficiency and global visibility of costs.
- Make the invisible visible
Employees often underestimate – and underuse – their reward packages. Darwin keeps your employees engaged, continually reinforcing your employee value proposition, and highlighting your investment in your people. This keeps take-up high and increases employees’ perception of the value of your offering.
- Do more with less
HR departments are under increasing pressure to deliver more, often with flat or shrinking budgets. Darwin helps busy benefit teams do more with less by automating manual administration processes, enabling teams to focus on value-add work.
- Right first time, every time
Unreliable, inaccurate data costs businesses money. Instant automated transfers minimise the risk of errors creeping into your data, ensuring your employees have the right cover at the right time - and you only pay for employees who should be covered.
- Secure your benefits budget
By uncovering previously inaccessible information across your global benefit schemes, Darwin Analytics Centre enables you to see where benefits and providers can be standardised, reducing the complexity of your benefit offering and delivering greater cost efficiency.
Manually managing benefits is time-consuming and resource intensive. Darwin’s automated, software-driven administration means reward and benefits teams can concentrate on delivering strategic value to your business.
- Simplicity from complexity
Complicated rules, manual processes, diverse carriers, and multiple systems make benefit administration a difficult and time-consuming task. We help you achieve extensive efficiencies by streamlining, digitising and automating your administration processes, no matter how complex your benefits are.
- No more data headaches
Most HR teams use lots of different HCM applications – but the systems don’t really speak to each other. Darwin sits at the centre of your HCM ecosystem, swiftly and seamlessly transferring data between your HR, payroll and third-party provider systems minimising time and resources spent manipulating data.
- Putting you in control
Most benefit platforms are offered on a “managed service-only” basis. Darwin is different. It gives you complete control and full visibility of process, empowering you to manage every aspect of your schemes – from administration and reporting to content editing and communications.
- Darwin works how you work
Multinational companies are increasingly centralising their HR operations. Darwin’s powerful Control Centre gives you the flexibility to include benefits administration as part of an HR shared service model, enabling you to realise major efficiencies.
Minimise your exposure to unnecessary risk by eliminating outdated processes and manual data handling.
- Minimising human data handling
Data breaches come at a huge cost, damaging relationship with clients, partners, employees and prospective joiners. Darwin automates your processes and transfers, eliminating human handling of data and giving full oversight and audit tracking for strong governance.
- Enterprise-grade security
Some of the most security-conscious organisations in the world trust Darwin with their employees’ sensitive data. Our enterprise-grade data security ensures your compliance requirements are met and that information stays safe, protecting you and your people.
- Mind the gap
There’s an increasing focus on gender equality in businesses. Darwin analytics can help you find and fix any potential gender gaps in your benefits offering, ensuring you’re doing the right thing for all your people and removing the risk of reputational damage.
Partnering with Darwin allowed us to further enhance our global reward offering around well-being and development. Seeing the marked percentage increase in employee engagement with our overall reward offering is a true testament to the effectiveness of the partnership.
