Benefitfocus Welcomes RedBrick Health as a Platinum Sponsor of Its One Place Annual User Conference

Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading provider of cloud-based benefits management software, today announced that RedBrick Health, an innovator in consumer health engagement and behavior change, has signed on as a platinum-level sponsor of the Benefitfocus annual user conference, One Place 2016. This year’s conference will be held at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin resort in Orlando, Florida, March 8-10, with pre-conference training led by Benefitfocus University scheduled for March 7.

“Industry data continue to point to the connection between a healthy workforce and a productive, engaged workforce,” said Benefitfocus CEO Shawn Jenkins. “That’s why we’re so pleased to welcome RedBrick Health, a recognized leader in the wellness space. We think our customer community will benefit from their data-driven insights and their fun, engaging approach to wellness.”

Benefitfocus and RedBrick Health announced their partnership earlier this year, amid growing interest from consumers and employers in wellness. The partnership integrates the award-winning RedBrick Health Engagement Platform and BENEFITFOCUS® Marketplace, providing employers an easy and efficient platform to better engage their workforce, improve health and wellness, and control benefit and administrative costs.

“Wellness and employee benefits are integrally related,” said Dan Ryan, RedBrick Health CEO. “We’re excited to share our findings on wellness and how partnering with Benefitfocus makes it easier to empower employees to take charge of their health.”

Representatives from RedBrick Health will be on hand to demonstrate their innovative health and wellness technologies used by many of the nation’s leading companies to deliver high-impact health and wellness initiatives. The Benefitfocus platform interfaces with RedBrick components that combine consumer experience, powerful professional tools, and a partner ecosystem featuring apps, devices and services to encourage healthier habits and smarter use of healthcare benefits.

The result is a simple and engaging consumer experience that delivers:

• Feedback on wellness and better managed healthcare costs through assessments, digital coaching, tracking and challenges wrapped in a fun, personalized and engaging consumer experience.
• An engaged, present and productive workforce by combining engaging wellness programs with competitive benefits to help attract and retain top talent.
• Streamlined benefits and wellness administration with the capability to easily create smartly designed rewards and incentives that boost participation. Employers gain visibility into participation rates and can offer premium discounts, HSA contributions and more, directly within the enrollment workflow – thanks to integration between the Benefitfocus and RedBrick Health platforms.
