Utmost delivers first talent management system to support and engage Colonial Life’s independent insurance agents.
San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 11, 2019 – Colonial Life has selected Utmost to provide a software solution to more productively engage and support their 14,000 independent insurance agents. Utmost is the first platform that allows enterprises to gain total visibility of their non-payroll workforce such as temporary workers, consultants, outsourced resources, freelancers, and contractors.
Utmost offers business insights across the entire extended workforce, streamlines operations by reducing manual processes associated with provisioning and training, and assists with compliance management.
With Utmost, Colonial Life sales leaders and their independent agents have an intuitive workflow to manage onboarding/offboarding and the entire worker lifecycle. Colonial Life can now use Utmost to ease compliance with corporate policies, certifications, and regulations.
“Systems of record for employee populations have existed for years, and yet until now the extended workforce has been invisible. With the Utmost solution, Colonial Life will have complete visibility into their independent sales agent population.” – Annrai O’Toole, CEO of Utmost.
Utmost is building solutions for the enterprise and its extended workforce - from temporary workers to consultants to contractors and more - to seamlessly and efficiently engage with one another. They are also focused on building ways for a company’s extended workforce to have more control of their data, and agency over their careers independent of traditional employment relationships.
“We believe in and invest in our agents and how we support them. By using Utmost we’re driving improved operations and now have growing insights into our independent agents and their performance. That helps us, and our agents, be more successful. All of which helps us protect more people during unexpected moments in their lives,” – Richard Shaffer, senior vice president at Colonial Life.
With a simple data upload, Colonial Life was able to rapidly start using the Utmost worker system of record. The core system of record is the initial scope of implementation with modules such as agent onboarding and worker dispatch targeted for the future.
