Competitiveness – Immediate understanding of how to align people objectives with business goals, thereby, achieving financial sustainability to employee benefits
Portability – Ability to have coverage move with the employee through out their career (with same or other employer) – talent mobility advantage

In addition, rounding out a truly compelling value proposition, the following Aon core offerings are embedded in every solution:
• Aon's Client Promise
• Aon ResolutionTM

Simplification

The practice is meant to be an extension of the client and will be the client's administration resource for claims, enrolment and funding transactions to problem solve whatever benefits matter is on their mind.

Commitment to regularly communicating relevant news and answering questions that matter to clients most are key components to Aon Benefits Solutions simplified approach.

and much much more.
 
Aon's Client Promise
Aon Consulting's customer service excellence philosophy is rooted in its Client Promise: a guarantee that at every step of the delivery cycle every client experience will be exceptional. In addition to monitoring, measuring and reporting on the state of clients' plans, Aon Benefits SolutionsTM offers peace of mind through Aon ResolutionTM, the firm's acting Ombudsman Office and a separate entity from its practices. The office directly assists with employee benefits outsourcing service issues brought forward by clients' employees in two ways:
Issues Resolution: investigating complaints on services which are escalated to the office and working with appropriate practices towards obtaining resolution(s).
Service Level Monitor: reviewing performance service levels nationally for all outsourcing services to ensure compliance with service levels and where necessary, make recommendations to improve levels.

To date, no other Canadian HR solutions provider offers the level and quality of client attention that matches Aon ResolutionTM — this offering exists to secure complete client satisfaction and earn their ultimate stamp of approval.

Portability is a luxury that is rare in today's benefits program. Aon Benefits SolutionsTM understands the need for benefits that move with employees as they go through life changes. Our solution offers secure portability of employee health and retirement benefits should they end up taking an unforeseen leave of absence.

Advanced exit-strategies uniquely built within Aon Benefits Solutions' product and service suites easily scale to employees' individual needs, maintain their group benefits coverage and avoid frustrating medical evidence of insurability.
