Alight Named a Leader in Everest Group’s US Health and Welfare (H&W) Benefits PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026

Recognition reflects Alight’s ability to combine scaled benefits administration, technology, navigation and specialist support in an integrated solution that simplifies benefits complexity

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading benefits administration provider of health, wealth, leave and point solutions, today announced it has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s US Health and Welfare (H&W) Benefits PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026 across Benefits Solutions and Benefits Platforms. Together, the recognitions reflect Alight’s strengths across both the technology that supports benefits delivery and the broader solution that brings platform capabilities together with administration, navigation, advocacy and employee support.

Everest Group’s assessment evaluates providers in the U.S. health and welfare benefits market based on market impact, vision, capabilities, functionality and client value, including capabilities across end-to-end benefits administration, enrollment, compliance, connectivity and analytics. The Benefits Solutions assessment in particular reflects the broader combination of capabilities employers rely on to manage complex benefits programs, including technology, administration expertise and decision support. Alight’s Leader position reflects its scale, service delivery expertise and continued investment in more personalized and digitally enabled benefits experiences.

Alight was recognized for capabilities that help employers address rising administrative complexity, regulatory demands and employee expectations for more personalized support, including:

• Managing complexity at scale with end-to-end health and welfare benefits administration designed for large, complex organizations.
• Creating a connected experience by bringing enrollment, compliance, benefits navigation, analytics and employee engagement through Alight Worklife®, complemented by high-touch specialist support.
• Helping employees make informed decisions through personalized digital experiences, health navigation, advocacy and high-touch support during enrollment and throughout the year.
• Advancing the benefits experience through data-driven insights, AI-enabled guidance and partnerships across the benefits ecosystem.

“When benefits become more complex, choosing the right partner matters even more,” said Rohit Verma, Chief Executive Officer at Alight. “Recognition as a Leader in both Benefits Solutions and Benefits Platforms is meaningful because employers need more than technology alone. They need the platform, administration expertise and human support in Health Navigation to work together. That combination helps employers simplify benefits and gives their people clearer, more personalized support when they need it.”

“As health and benefits programs become more complex, employers are increasingly looking for partners that can bring together administration, navigation and employee support in a more coordinated way," said Priyanka Mitra, Vice President at Everest Group. "Alight’s position as a Leader on the Everest Group US H&W Benefits Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026 reflects the breadth of its proposition, combining scaled benefits administration with personalized health navigation and advocacy. Alight Health Pro further strengthens this offering by connecting employees with specialist expertise to help them evaluate care options and make more informed health decisions.
