Managing employee benefits is often a complex and time-consuming task for businesses. That’s why we’re excited to introduce several new features designed to make your life easier. With integrations like Vestwell and Guardian, and our enhanced plan shopping experience, you can streamline your benefits management, save time, and focus more on growing your business. Let’s explore how these powerful additions can transform your employee benefits experience.
A new guided experience helps you find health benefits tailor-made for your business
Shopping for health benefits can be overwhelming—but not with Gusto. Our new in-app plan recommendations provide a simpler, more guided way to choose the best health benefits for your business. We sift through thousands of options to surface personalized benefit plan recommendations based on your business and what’s important to you. Enhanced sort and filter capabilities help you narrow down the best plan in no time. The new shopping experience provides:
- A Guided Experience: The in-app plan recommendations use business data and preferences to provide tailored suggestions, making the shopping experience less overwhelming.
- Efficiency: The ability to sort and filter plans helps businesses narrow down their options quickly, saving time and effort.
- Variety and Choice: With connections to leading carriers and 3,500+ health insurance plan options, businesses can find plans that best fit your budget and coverage needs.
Plus, with Gusto you can navigate the complexities of benefits with an expert advisor who’s always in your corner. We pair you with a single advisor who understands your business and your team’s needs, making the process seamless and straightforward.
Time-saving 401(k) integrations now include Vestwell
The Vestwell Integration allows customers using Vestwell 401(k) plans to manage and synchronize their deductions effortlessly. By fully integrating the Vestwell platform with Gusto, we have removed the manual effort traditionally associated with managing a 401(k).
Vestwell comes as the fourth-deep 401(k) integration, joining Guideline, Human Interest, and Betterment. These full platform integrations take the effort out of managing a 401(k). With automatically synchronized data, including new employee set up and contribution rate settings, we save customers time and eliminate manual errors, improving compliance. With these improvements, you’ll see:
- Time-Saving: Automated synchronization eliminates the need for manual updates.
- Error Reduction: Automation significantly reduces the risk of manual errors for employee deductions and contributions.
- Seamless Management: The necessary deductions are made from employees’ paychecks, and in most cases, fund transfers to your 401(k) provider with no extra work for you.
“The benefits process has been super simple. From 401(k) through Guideline to health, dental and vision, integrating benefits for our team has been a breeze because we went directly with the options provided by Gusto. They removed the guesswork.”

- Peace of mind: Whether you need to renew or add a new line of coverage for life, dental, disability or beyond, these new automations save you time and finish processing more quickly.
- Reduced Workload: Businesses no longer need to contact Guardian directly or manage extensive paperwork, allowing HR teams to focus on more strategic tasks.
- Improved Accuracy: Automated processes ensure that renewals and new coverage additions are accurately processed, minimizing errors.
