Rise People Inc. announced April 16 the launch of an integrated benefits administration solution that was built in collaboration with Sun Life.

Rise says the solution allows employers “to effortlessly manage benefit plans with the assurance that premiums and deductions are in sync across HR, benefits and payroll systems.”

Sun Life and Rise have recently completed a cross-Canada tour to launch their new integrated solution and partner program to benefits advisors.

"Rise is offering exactly what our clients are asking for – a digital platform with integrated benefits, payroll and HR admin which their employees will enjoy,” said Dave Jones, senior vice-president, group benefits, Sun Life Financial Canada. "Sun Life is the only Canadian insurance carrier that offers this level of integration, saving our clients time and allowing them to focus on what matters most to their business.”

Maximizing employee engagement

“Our partnership with Sun Life is helping our clients maximize employee engagement, health and productivity with a first-of-its-kind solution,” said Faiz Abdulla, founder and CEO at Rise People. “We are thrilled to be working with benefits advisors across Canada to extend greater value to their clients, and the feedback has been tremendous. This new offering is a game changer for our advisor partners, helping them win the competitive battle with new efficiencies, accuracy and cost savings.”
