Origen Financial Services and Staffcare have formed a partnership agreement.

Origen, the national firm of independent financial advisers, will be using Staffcare's software platform to launch the Origen Benefits Portal, which will include a new suite of online tools to help employers with benefits communication and administration.

Each module of the online platform will represent a part of the journey from implementation and creation of benefits through to total reward statements, salary sacrifice arrangements and full flexible benefits programmes.

Warren Page, director of client services at Origen, said: “Our partnership with Staffcare keeps us at the forefront of reward communication and education.

“Many employers are concerned and confused by the complexities and cost of employee benefits. and are looking to improve their return on investment by ensuring their employees have full visibility and a greater appreciation of the value of those benefits.

“Our new proposition will empower employees to self-serve and access benefits information on-demand and provide employers with real time management information. It will also provide a suite of administration tools to help them improve efficiencies and cut cost from benefits administration.”

Phil Hollingdale, chief executive officer and founder at Staffcare, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Origen.

“With their commitment towards supporting their clients and maximising the use of technology to drive efficiencies for the advisers, employers and employees, Origen has a powerful, innovative proposition.”
