Why National Simplicity Day?

At Clarity, we believe life is a journey; one that should be lived well. While our expertise is in fostering a Simply Smarter approach to employee benefits, we’re equally passionate about the benefits of simplicity across so many other aspects of life. That’s why we’re championing National Simplicity Day!

We believe that we can help our partners, clients, participants, and the world by being an advocate for simplicity and using our voice to promote an overarching ‘culture of health’ that can be achieved through simplifying anything from finances to your home, and even your time commitments. We want to reach beyond simplified benefits and support an abundant personal and professional life with balance, freedom, and joy.

Simplicity is the key to living well.

So let’s celebrate a Simply Smarter Approach to benefits and beyond.

AT THE CORE OF SIMPLICITY

The core of simplicity is you.

Simplicity means something a little different for each person and finding the right balance for your life will always be the best path forward.

Space

Simplicity starts in your space. Be more present in every moment when you have an organized, decluttered home.

Finance

Simplify your finances to improve spending habits and savings so you can experience all life has to offer.

Time

As your simplicity journey unfolds, you’ll find that finding ways to ‘work smarter, not harder’ rings true.

Health

Simplicity all leads back to living a full and healthy life that brings you happiness for a long time to come.

A SIMPLY SMARTER APPROACH

For the last 30 years, we’ve been committed to making employee benefits simple and affordable. Our goal is, and always has been, to bring clarity and simplicity to employee benefits through innovative solutions that simplify the entire process.

Simplify your savings with a Clarity Health Savings Account (HSA)

We understand that you can’t predict every twist and turn life throws at you. That’s why our HSA has built-in features that simplify and enhance the experience.

More Investment Options

Employees can take advantage of multiple national banking partners and dozens of investment options to keep their HSA savings safe and growing. Through our secure portal, we provide employees with an up-to-date list of the mutual funds offered as well as recent performance information for those funds.

Accelerated Funding

Built for unpredictability, the Clarity HSA offers on-demand, interest-free payroll advances to cover unexpected healthcare costs, so employees aren’t just covered—they’re confident they can keep expenses under control.

COMING SOON: Lifestyle Spending Accounts!

Not every employee has the same lifestyle needs.
Our Lifestyle Spending Accounts will give employers the flexibility to allow their employees to spend benefit dollars on the things that matter most to them. From physical and mental health needs to professional and educational development, to travel and entertainment, employers have complete freedom to determine how their employees are able to spend these annual, monthly or payroll-funded post-tax dollars.

Stay tuned for more information on how you can bring this new, personalized benefit offering to your constantly evolving workforce.

We added the brand name Simply Smarter to all of our products, and adopted the phrase 10X smarter as a way to drive the mission home internally. Every product, service, and procedure we developed had to be 10X smarter than our competition or we would not release it.

– Bill Catuzzi, Clarity Benefit Solutions Founder/CEO

What do our partners have to say about simplicity?

Your feedback drives our success. That’s why we have a Broker Advisory Board to ensure that we’re truly offering solutions that are Simply Smarter. Here’s what they have to say about working with the Clarity team.

“Dedicated account management versus call center.”
– Ben Bohonowicz, Employee Benefit Services of Maryland

Clarity simplified their service model so that it is based on customer size, customer needs and service volumes. This allows them to ensure customers receive dedicated service no matter their size. All customers receive hands-on attention, from a team of experts ready to address your needs and work with you to quickly solve any issues. This customized focus has allowed Clarity to maintain a 30–40% growth rate while achieving a 97% client retention rate.

“The member portal is very intuitive. Implementing SSO capability has eased our client's frustration by them not having to remember multiple login credentials.”
– Brianne Datz, Johnson, Kendall & Johnson Benefits, Inc

A few years ago Clarity simplified their secure online portal - consolidating five separate logins into one. No matter the plans or technology you use Clarity for, you can access everything to administer and manage plans through the Clarity Portal. The portal also contains training and educational material. All communications and links to other tools like BenefitConnect.

“Their do and say match.”
– Jonathan Anders, Benecurv

For over 30 years, our goal has been the same — to help brokers, clients, and their employees navigate the challenging world of benefits providing simple and reliable solutions that we use ourselves. We have a long history of saying what we mean, doing what we say, by always putting products and services in the world that we would want for ourselves and for our families. Afterall, we are consumers too!

“BenefitConnect has been a great feature.”
– Ben Bohonowicz, Employee Benefit Services of Maryland

Clarity BenefitConnect is a convenient, easy-to-use tool that syncs your medical, dental and vision insurance carriers to Clarity Benefit Accounts to simplify and streamline either claim submissions or debit card substantiation so you can focus on your health, not submitting claims, receipts, and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs). No more logging into multiple insurance carriers and wasting time submitting claims and paperwork. If provided, just pay with your Clarity Benefit Card and benefit—it’s that simple. It’s safe, easy, and quick to get started.

“Clarity is committed to automating administrative processes for my clients which saves them time and improves process quality.”

Inspire Simplicity

Simplicity is at the heart of our company and in the details of everything we do.
Start bringing simplicity to all aspects of your life with these resources.

We all deserve to enjoy a full weekend of rest and relaxation. By practicing simple steps, you can create a better work-life balance that prioritizes your personal health and wellbeing.

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with being extremely detail-oriented, for many of us that level of organization can feel overwhelming. Read our pro tips to help you begin simplifying your space.

One of the biggest benefits of lifestyle challenges is that by sharing them with friends, you stay accountable. Friendly competition helps develop a healthy habit long after the challenge is completed.

When life becomes hectic, it’s easy to place your mental health on the backburner. But in doing so, you also leave a cloud of anxiety and stress in your mind that stops you from living fully and meaningfully.

At Clarity, we believe life is a journey; one that should be lived well. While our expertise is in fostering a simply smarter approach to employee benefits, we’re equally passionate about the benefits of simplicity across so many other aspects of life.

Financial stress can create a cloud of uncertainty over many aspects of our lives. Between budgeting, sorting bills and making sure your savings goals are on the right track, financial planning can be a massive undertaking – one that can create a continual cycle of stress if not managed carefully.

We’ve all been there–trying to carry the weight of multiple projects, coordinate teams and manage complex schedules. All while balancing our personal lives.

You know what sounds lovely? A balanced life with ample time for work, family, hobbies, relationships and anything under the sun that brings us joy. While finding that perfect balance all the time may not be realistic, it is certainly possible to create routines that bring simplicity to your life now and in the future.

How many times have you found yourself doing things a certain way just because that’s “how you’ve always done it”? The philosophy of simplicity aims to break that cycle of habits by introducing easily manageable tactics in all areas of life.
