Online Benefits Enrollment for Employer Care Programs

Online benefits enrollment gives employees a digital way to access and use employer-sponsored family care support. Through Helpr, an organization can make eligible care options, subsidy pathways, and payment tools available in one platform. Employees can then use available benefits for needs such as backup childcare, elder care, adult dependent care, or care provided by people they already trust.

Helpr supports a range of employer care programs, including employer-subsidized backup care, elder and adult care support, global care stipends, My Choice out-of-network care, one-to-one concierge placement, DCFSA-integrated payments, and corporate event childcare. Employers can select the combination that best fits their workforce needs, benefit strategy, and desired approach to subsidies.

My Choice allows employees to use employer care subsidies with people in their own support systems, such as family members, friends, or caregivers they already know and trust. Instead of requiring employees to choose from a directory, Helpr’s patented technology facilitates a more flexible payment path. This can expand access for workers whose best care solution is outside a traditional provider network.

Yes. Helpr’s elder and adult care support is designed for employees who need help arranging care for aging parents or adult dependents. Available options can include vetted providers, center-based care, or support from someone the family already trusts. This broader approach recognizes that caregiving responsibilities extend beyond childhood and can affect employees at every career stage.

Employer-subsidized backup care helps employees respond when regular care arrangements are unavailable or disrupted. By reducing the personal cost of finding short-term care, the benefit can help working families stay engaged at work while addressing urgent caregiving needs. Helpr’s platform connects employees to care support and provides employers with a use-based model for benefit funding.

Yes. Helpr offers DCFSA-integrated payments that allow employees to put Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account benefits to work within the app. This helps eligible families apply tax-advantaged funds toward qualifying dependent care expenses and make available care dollars go further. Employees should review their plan rules and eligibility requirements when using DCFSA funds.

Helpr offers a use-based payment model, meaning organizations pay for care services that employees actually use rather than paying for unused care appointments. Employers can design subsidy structures around their budget and workforce goals. The platform can also support flexible options, including stipends and payment tools, to create a program aligned with the organization’s benefit strategy.

Yes. Helpr’s family care platform serves employees across more than 150 countries, making it well suited to organizations with distributed, international, frontline, or hybrid teams. Its flexible options can help employers offer more equitable care support across locations and employee populations. Program configuration can be tailored to the organization’s workforce structure and available benefit resources.
