Driving Broker & Employee Engagement at Scale for a North American Insurance Leader

The Challenge

Despite a strong sales network and internal workforce, several issues limited program effectiveness:

1. Inconsistent Broker Engagement

Manual tracking of policy sales led to delays in payouts, missed incentives, and low broker satisfaction.

2. Complex Onboarding Journeys

New agents struggled to complete milestones on time due to manual workflows and lack of visibility, affecting ramp-up speed.

3. Low Employee Recognition

High-performing claims processors and agents lacked timely recognition, impacting morale and retention.

4. Operational Inefficiency

HR teams had to manage multiple reward workflows manually, increasing administrative burden and operational risk.

5. Limited Visibility & Analytics

Tracking engagement, adoption, and reward fulfillment across brokers and internal teams was fragmented and slow, preventing timely optimizations.
