Our mission is to make it easy for employees and their family to discover and use the benefits that apply to them.

We are bringing personalized and friction-free benefits to the tip of the fingers of over five million people (our employees and their dependents). Amazon Benefits help them live richer and fuller lives, be it by helping them in a moment of medical need, saving for retirement, or helping them with a vacation. We are building a delightful mobile and web experience integrated with internal and external systems, so employees don’t have to go through hoops to get what they want. No employer has ever done this level of experience or personalization before and we are breaking new ground.
