Blockchain-Based Solution Set to Bring New Levels of Transparency and Innovation to the Employee Benefits Industry
Accenture and Generali Employee Benefits (GEB) have debuted a first-of-its-kind blockchain solution for the employee benefits (EB) industry that allows participants in the reinsurance process for captive or pooling services to access the same data and reduces processing errors through smart contracts and automated reconciliation.
“Blockchain technology creates a more-connected ecosystem among stakeholders, allowing a reliable means of information exchange and streamlining previously complex, manual processes within insurance. We are pleased to work with Generali Employee Benefits to help revolutionise the employee benefits process for its customers.”
The solution is expected to streamline GEB’s employee benefit operating model for captive services, which offers global customers a comprehensive range of local admitted employee benefits solutions, such as life, short and long-term disability, accident and healthcare insurance. These local offerings are completed with reinsurance from Generali to captive or pooling services to best serve multinational corporations that need to centrally manage the insurance scheme and financials.
The rollout of the solution follows the successful demonstration of a prototype last year involving two global clients, one of which is Syngenta, a leading agriculture company, and local insurers in Spain, Switzerland and Serbia. The goal was to disrupt the market by bringing genuine integration of systems, data and processes to all stakeholders in the employee benefits sector. The prototype demonstrated significant results — lowering costs, saving time and improving data quality for all stakeholders.
Sergio Di Caro, GEB’s Chief Executive Officer, said “This prototype represents a step forward for GEB and for the insurance industry. The use of blockchain technology allows for a truly connected ecosystem and a seamless partnership between clients, advisers, local insurers and Generali. Blockchain will change not only our Network but the employee benefits industry as we know it.”

At its most basic level, blockchain is a new type of database system that maintains and records data in a way that allows multiple stakeholders to confidently and securely share access to the same data and information. Transactions and records are stored in a ledger that is distributed among interested parties, creating a level of transparency, security and trust not previously possible.
Daniele Presutti, who leads Accenture’s Insurance practice in Europe, said: “Blockchain technology creates a more-connected ecosystem among stakeholders, allowing a reliable means of information exchange and streamlining previously complex, manual processes within insurance. We are pleased to work with Generali Employee Benefits to help revolutionise the employee benefits process for its customers.”
