Case Study: The Channel Company achieves a centralized HR platform and enhanced benefits experience with Namely

How The Channel Company Modernized & Streamlined HR With Namely

Erika McGrath, VP of People and Culture at The Channel Company, needed a centralized, engaging HR platform and a dependable benefits broker after struggling with fragmented systems and Zenefits’ brokerage model. She led a collaborative evaluation with executives, managers, and employees to find a solution that would improve employee interaction and simplify HR administration.

The company chose Namely for its social‑media‑like news feed and comprehensive benefits administration. Namely’s Managed Benefits Team became an extension of The Channel Company’s HR function—running open enrollment, providing benchmark data and benefits recommendations, and guiding the team through a recent acquisition—resulting in a simpler enrollment experience, stronger broker partnership, and smoother benefits integration for new employees.
