Employee Benefits Platform

Overview

The Employee Benefits Management System is a digital platform that streamlines the administration and utilization of employee insurance benefits. It serves three key stakeholders — insurance providers, HR administrators, and employees — giving each a seamless, transparent, and efficient way to manage health and wellness benefits.

Employee Benefits Platform — platform flow

My role

  • UX Researcher
  • Product Designer

Responsibilities

  • ·Synthesised stakeholder needs across insurers, HR administrators, and employees.
  • ·Created user flows and wireframes to balance simplicity for employees with advanced functionality for HR and insurers.
  • ·Created interactive prototypes for the core components and cross-role journey.

Design artifacts

From stakeholder model to interactive prototype

  • Stakeholder models connected the needs of insurers, HR administrators, and employees across one benefit journey.
  • A shared feature map and role-specific flows aligned the three product surfaces before detailed design.
  • Wireframes and interactive prototypes translated the structure into reviewable end-to-end experiences.

Understand the users

Three audiences, one shared benefit journey

With personas as a guide, I translated the needs of insurers, HR admins, and employees into three core experience pillars — each surface optimized for how that group actually works.

Cross-role journey

A structural feature list helped the team understand the end-to-end flow and align before moving into design.

In short

The design connected three working contexts through one benefits journey: insurers configured and monitored the service, HR managed enrolment and families, and employees accessed benefits and claim status. The aligned product structure and interactive prototype gave the three surfaces one coherent experience foundation.
