TriNet Bridges the Health Coverage Gap by Facilitating Access to Alternative Offerings for Small and Medium Size Businesses

TriNet | March 26, 2020

As small and medium size businesses (SMBs) navigate the economic impacts of COVID-19, TriNet, a leading provider of comprehensive human resources, is working to help small and medium sized businesses understand the range of health coverage offerings available to them. At this time, we are proud to be helping the company's 18,000* SMB customers navigate transitional healthcare coverage options for their employees. According to recent data from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), about 156 million Americans (around 49 percent of the country's total population), receive employer-sponsored health insurance. With the U.S. economy experiencing an abrupt contraction, and millions of workers at risk of losing their health coverage, additional options are needed.  Workers who lose health coverage may continue their coverage through COBRA. However, with an average annual premium of $20,576 per family in 2019 (according to additional KFF information), extending employer group coverage through COBRA is out of reach for many families. TriNet is responding to the looming health insurance coverage gap by facilitating access to alternative health plan options in addition to COBRA.  These alternatives come in a range of price points, which provide greater accessibility at a time of economic uncertainty.  This is a comprehensive effort aimed at ensuring TriNet customers and their workers are empowered to choose the best plans to meet their current needs.

MMC Selects RingCentral’s Cloud Communications Solutions to Improve Customer Experience and Streamline Employee Workflows

Businesswire | March 17, 2023

MMC, Inc., a Human Resources Outsourcing company (HRO), today announced it has replaced its on-premise legacy communications systems with RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, to drive an improved client experience, streamline employee workflows, and deliver IT cost savings. After migrating 3,000 of its employees to RingCentral MVP® (Message Video Phone™), MMC realized substantial savings on its business communications costs. Known for its expertise in HR outsourcing, payroll, benefits administration, and other business processes, MMC was looking for a cloud solution that could provide greater mobility for its employees and would allow them to more efficiently connect and communicate with clients. By implementing RingCentral MVP, they have enabled employees to increase productivity and efficiency through the use of a cloud-based business phone service, video conferencing, digital fax, and SMS–on any device from virtually any location. As a result, MMC has streamlined employee workflows, increased accessibility to clients, and empowered remote workers. “What sets us apart from the larger competitors is our white glove service delivery. We care about our customers’ experience and go that extra mile to ensure the highest service delivery possible. This means being accessible to clients when they have questions, concerns, or require assistance,” said Raul Terrazas, manager of information technology at MMC. “With RingCentral, we are now able to seamlessly communicate with clients from virtually anywhere using our office phone, mobile, or PC. Given how many employee workflows we’ve been able to improve across our company, how much visibility we’ve gained into our client communications, and how much money we’ve saved — not to mention how effortless the implementation itself was — my only regret is not migrating MMC to RingCentral sooner.” In the company’s next unified communications transformation phase, MMC’s IT team plans to roll out RingCentral MVP to their sales and support teams and optimize those operations with the RingCentral for Salesforce integration. This integration will enable them to consolidate platforms for the company’s agents, reduce the number of vendor relationships for Terrazas’ team to manage, and streamline agent workflows for added speed and efficiency. “We are thrilled to work with MMC on their cloud transformation—leveraging the strengths of our unified communications platform,” said Carson Hostetter, chief revenue officer at RingCentral. “By shifting to RingCentral, MMC is driving greater operational efficiencies and improvements in both customer and employee experiences.” About MMC California-based Human Resources Outsourcing company MMC was established over 40 years ago for the purpose of providing HR Outsourcing & Consulting solutions to improve business performance.
