How does Workday automate benefits administration?

Workday automates benefits administration primarily through its Benefits module, which facilitates not only enrollment but also compliance tracking. This module allows organizations to manage employee benefits efficiently by streamlining the enrollment process, ensuring that employees can easily choose their benefits online without the need for manual paperwork.

Additionally, the Benefits module in Workday integrates seamlessly with other HCM functionalities, providing real-time data and analytics that help HR teams track compliance with regulations and company policies. This integration minimizes errors, enhances data accuracy, and improves the overall employee experience by making benefits information readily accessible and manageable.

The other options present methods that do not align with Workday’s automated approach. Manual processes and the requirement for paper forms would significantly undermine the efficiency and speed that automation provides. Similarly, while outsourcing benefits administration might be a strategy some organizations consider, Workday is designed to centralize and automate these processes internally, making option B the correct choice.
