The acquisition accelerates key capabilities to further execute on Voya’s integrated workplace benefits and savings strategy. Today in the market, health benefits are commonly not integrated with workplace savings such as 401(k)s, health account solutions (e.g., HSAs / FSAs) or emergency savings. We see this as a tremendous value creation opportunity for employers and their employees. For example, connecting retirement benefits to other health benefits offered by Voya and others; advancing access to an integrated workplace savings experience, such as increased value of digital tools like our myVoyage mobile app; and access to more holistic data to create engagement opportunities across benefits and savings.
Voya already has tremendous technology resources, digital capabilities and operational expertise, and this transaction now adds a strong capability and expertise in benefits administration (ben admin), which is a central recordkeeping administrative capability — both with Benefitfocus and our third-party partners — and is an important component of the benefits market. Working with third-party ben admins is essential to increase our continuity with them and our ability to drive health and wealth connections. Furthermore, ben admins help build greater connectivity with third parties, and Benefitfocus will drive deeper engagement with our health and wealth partners.
Through the acquisition of Benefitfocus, Voya will now have some of the deepest capabilities across worksite benefits administration in the U.S., providing us with essential market intelligence as well as robust insights derived from participant data across a wide array of health and wealth solutions. This will enable us to help employers make more informed benefits decisions and help intermediaries provide greater value to prospects and clients.
Benefitfocus is currently owned by Voya Financial, which is publicly traded under the ticker symbol NYSE: VOYA
