Strategic Sourcing Guide to Outsourced Benefits Administration Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall HR Services as well as Outsourced Benefits Administration procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Even though global population is increasing, the availability of adequately trained talent pool is reducing in many geographies. Lack of skilled in-house manpower continues to be the largest factor for hiring of Outsourced Benefits Administration. Companies are designing processes where the internal talent can work on the most value-adding activities and all non-core activities can be handed over to a third-party.

The market has undergone several structural changes including M&As and vertical integration efforts of suppliers. This has resulted in some issues such as erosion of previously established supplier relationships but has also opened new opportunities to onboard new suppliers with a wider range of offerings.

Changing workforce demographics are creating challenges in identifying the right talent mix and processes that can keep the talent pool motivated and satisfied with their work.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Risks in Outsourced Benefits Administration procurement

Outsourced Benefits Administration procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Outsourced Benefits Administration procurement. Some examples include:


  • To provide good quality services and solve issues, service providers must have highly skilled and experienced employees. Inability to attract and retain talented employees will impact their competitiveness and relevancy in the market
  • Many service providers offer services via SaaS, mobile technology, and desktop software. If they do not remain up-to-date with the latest technologies and keep up with changing industry standards, they may not only be unable to resolve clients' problems but also lose the interest of potential clients
  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Outsourced Benefits Administration
