More than Just a Benefits Marketplace

Once you choose your employee benefit package, Absolute Choice™ provides a system to manage your HR department’s enrollment and ongoing benefits administration. You can choose whether to provide your employees with a self-service website for annual elections and to make life event changes – or you can manage this process for your employees. You can even ask MBA to make employee benefit changes, acting as your broker. In the end, all your benefit information is stored in one place and accessible at any time.
