The 5 Cs framework
A new guide to help you scale a successful flexible benefits strategy without complexity or chaos
A new approach for modern employers to succeed and scale with flexible benefits
You're probably managing multiple benefit vendors right now, and it's probably not making your life any easier — or helping your budget stretch further.
The path forward isn't adding another vendor. It's building smarter with a strategy and technology that can flex and scale for 2026 and beyond.
Our new guide will help you make this vision a reality.
In the 5 Cs framework, we’ve identified five interconnected elements that are hallmarks of the most successful flexible benefits programs.
When these elements work together, they compound:
✓ Your team has less administrative burden while delivering more value.
✓ Your employees get more from their benefits experience.
✓ Your costs become more predictable and your budget stretches further.
Download the guide to explore the framework, get access to an assessment worksheet, and see how teams from leading employers are making the 5 Cs work today.
