Welcome to the Human Resources and Management Blog

“It’s the season for football games, Thanksgiving, holiday shopping and open enrollment. And because of that last annual event, HR professionals often don’t get to enjoy the other three,”says Daryl Ashley and Lisa Bright in their article, 5 Tips for Surviving Open Enrollment.

This article has some great tips, but the statement above doesn’t necessarily need to be true. This morning we had a spotlight session for Sage Abra Benefits Enrollment, here’s a small glimpse at what it was all about.

What is Benefits Enrollment Software?Benefits Enrollment is a complete benefits management system for mid-sized businesses. This product works to empower both employees and managers and reduce time and paperwork associated with open enrollment.

Managers have benefit administration control over the open enrollment process with comprehensive tools. Customize reminder messages for employees to finish their benefits enrollment, monitor progress by employee, quickly approve or reject benefit selections, and batch update plan changes to Abra HR.

Empower employees with detailed 24/7 benefit administration access to benefit plans over the Internet or an intranet. Step-by-step wizards guide administrators through the benefit plan set-up process, and walk employees through open enrollment. Year-round life events management allows employees to update information such as marital status and dependents. Eliminate the need for printed documents. Reduce time delays with online benefit administration that allows employees to enter their own benefit elections.

Combine Abra Benefits Enrollment with Abra HR for these benefit administration features:

In the coming weeks Dresser & Associates will sponsor a series of Sage Abra HRMS webinars spotlighting specific modules. Each webinar will be led by one of our senior consultants along with one of our very own Sage Abra customers. Several of our customers have agreed to take part in these sessions in order to give others a real look into how the system works for them and to share their experience within that particular module. Also, coinciding with these webinars I will be posting a series of blogs highlighting the modules as they go.

I highly recommend taking part in this series of webinars. Where else are you going to hear about the product straight from the horse’s mouth (pardon the expression)? If you are already an Sage Abra customer and you want to learn more about your product or how others are using it, if you are an Abra customer seeking other modules that may benefit you and your company or if you are not an Abra customer yet, but would like to gain some insight on the product and get some questions answered by Dresser and other users, these webinars are for you.

We will also have a webinar that will focus on Halogen’s Performance and Talent Management Software. This session will be taught by Jim Carty of Halogen Software and one of our joint customers, will be sharing his experiences within his use of both Abra and Halogen’s software together.
