bswift earns Gold in the Aetna Workplace Well-being Awards. Oct 27, 2026, 11:00 ET Whole-person support helps bswift team members thrive and bring their best to clients CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Plenty of employee well-being programs look great in a benefits guide. But the real test is whether people actually use them when they need them and thrive at work. Through clear goals, ongoing communication and a focus on team member needs, bswift helped drive strong engagement with its well-being programs, earning a Gold-level Aetna(R) Workplace Well-being Award, a move up from Silver in 2025. The recognition reflects a well-being strategy grounded in a simple belief: People are better able to support others when they feel supported themselves. By setting measurable goals, communicating throughout the year and listening to team member feedback, bswift is building a healthier workplace where team members can bring greater focus, energy and care to the clients they serve. "At bswift, supporting whole-person health is part of our culture and business strategy," said bswift Chief People Officer Natalie Atwood. "This award shows that our approach is working, but the real win is seeing our team members use the programs and bring greater energy, focus and care to their work." Well-being programs are producing measurable results bswift's well-being strategy supports team members across different life stages and circumstances. Programs and resources address preventive care, mental health, fitness, cancer support, menopause and midlife health, family needs, financial well-being and social connection. But offering a broad range of programs is not the same as helping people engage with them. Just as bswift helps clients move their employees from benefits access to action, the company sets clear participation goals for its own programs and measures whether team members are using the support available to them. Recent program results include: * 65% engagement in preventive health activities, exceeding the 50% goal, supported by bswift's Medical Premium Credit program * 18.3% engagement in the Color Health cancer support program, exceeding the 12% goal * 15.58% engagement in the Maven Menopause and Midlife Health program, exceeding the 12% goal * 87.5% satisfaction with parental support, exceeding the 85% goal following expanded Paid Parental Leave and the introduction of a Parent-to-be Guide These results help bswift understand which programs are reaching people, where communications are working, where team member needs are changing and where the company can improve. That cycle of setting goals, measuring action and responding is the same discipline bswift brings to helping clients support their employees and turn benefits into a meaningful investment. Clear goals and steady communication help team members act Every major bswift well-being program has a specific, measurable SMART goal. Those goals give the organization a practical way to assess progress, refine programs and avoid relying on good intentions or the annual spreadsheet everyone politely pretends to enjoy. Communication continues throughout the year through the monthly Wellbeing Spotlight newsletter, email, text messages, People Leader meetings and team member resource groups. This steady rhythm keeps programs visible beyond enrollment season and gives team members opportunities to act on relevant resources when they need them. bswift also gathers feedback through its annual Benefits & Wellbeing Survey and team member resource group focus groups. That input helps shape communications, policies and new programs that help team members thrive and bring their best to the clients they serve. "Our team members understand their own needs better than any dashboard ever could," said bswift CEO Ted Bloomberg. "The data tells us what is happening, but team member feedback helps us understand why. We need both if we want to build programs that help our people thrive. That's how we create a workplace where people can bring their best thinking, collaboration and service to the clients and team members who depend on us."

bswift, a benefits technology and administration company, has launched AI-powered carrier configuration tools in partnership with Aflac. The tools help Channel Partners and clients add, switch, and update benefit plans more quickly and accurately. The technology uses bswift's Emma Intelligence to automatically configure plans, rates, and rules from uploaded carrier-specific plan documents, reducing manual work and errors. The system is tailored to each carrier's unique plan structures and documentation. The announcement builds on AI-native capabilities bswift introduced in July for setting up new small and midsize groups. The new tools address changes within existing sites on the bswift platform, particularly for complex products like voluntary benefits. bswift plans to expand the technology to additional carriers over time.

bswift, a US benefits technology and administration company, has launched bswift Managed Services, a new delivery model designed to help channel partners expand their benefits administration offerings without building internal implementation and operations teams. The service allows partners to maintain client relationships and sales responsibilities whilst bswift handles platform configuration, implementation delivery, integration connections, and ongoing administration. Partners can continue focusing on consultation and client strategy rather than administrative capacity. The new model complements bswift's existing channel partner offerings, which include self-managed platform licensing and bswift Simplify for smaller groups. According to Sue Thompson, bswift's chief growth officer, Managed Services addresses partners' need to serve more clients with greater complexity whilst moving faster. The delivery model is built around consistency, quality, transparency, and alignment principles, providing partners with structured implementation processes and regular reporting whilst maintaining clear ownership boundaries.
bswift secures two spots on Newsweek's 2026 Greatest workplaces rankings. Jul 29, 2026, 11:00 ET Team member feedback places bswift among the nation's leading midsize employers, recognizing a culture that helps people thrive and empowers them to deliver for clients. CHICAGO, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - In a competitive labor market where companies are focused on attracting and retaining talent, bswift has been recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces 2026 and America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces for Women 2026. The rankings, based largely on employee feedback, recognize companies where people report strong experiences with workplace culture, career growth, flexibility, and support. The recognition reflects a comprehensive assessment by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, drawing on an analysis of employee reviews and more than 120 workplace indicators, including work environment, belonging, compensation and benefits, work-life balance, career development, and company culture. Unlike awards based on company submissions, Newsweek's rankings are driven primarily by how employees rate their own workplace experiences. "Workplace culture is increasingly measured by the people who experience it every day," said Jennifer H. Cunningham, editor-in-chief of Newsweek. "These rankings give employees a voice and recognize the companies creating workplaces where people feel supported, valued, and able to grow." For bswift, this recognition reflects a workplace culture grounded in pursuing excellence, embracing accountability, delivering superior service, and being a great place to work. The company's workforce data includes average team member tenure of more than five years, voluntary turnover averaging 10% or less, and more than 60 former team members who have returned to bswift after working elsewhere - a group bswift refers to internally as "boomerangers." "Our culture is built through people who are supported, empowered, and accountable to one another," said Ted Bloomberg, CEO of bswift. "That starts from the moment someone joins our team. I personally welcome every new hire because if you choose bswift, you should know you matter and you're an important part of how we solve problems and deliver for our clients every day." bswift's recognition on America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces for Women 2026 reflects team member feedback along with workplace factors including fairness, flexibility, advancement opportunities, representation of women in leadership, and programs supporting women's career development. "Being recognized as a great workplace for women is especially meaningful because it speaks to whether people feel they have a real opportunity to succeed here," said Natalie Atwood, chief people officer at bswift. "Fairness and flexibility aren't afterthoughts. They are part of how we work. Every person at bswift is valued and supported to build their career with us, because when people grow with us, our clients benefit from the expertise, continuity, and commitment they bring to every interaction." This recognition comes as employers continue to navigate changing expectations around workplace culture, flexibility, and retention. For bswift, the rankings provide outside validation of an approach focused on creating an environment where team members choose to build their careers - and, in some cases, choose to return.
