timeline will be for your organization. Employees tend to value a variety of benefits. But research has found that 85% of workers can find their coverage options confusing. So you must do more than send your employees materials and expect them to read the information at their leisure.
Simplifying your benefits options and communicating their value is an effective way to provide your employees with vital information.
4.Provide Resources to Your Employees
Many employers provide resources for educating employees about their benefit offerings. These resources can include webinars, benefit fairs, email campaigns, digital enrollment materials and guides, videos, health insurance marketplace updates, and presentations.
Virtual resources are impactful because your staff can use them throughout the year, and active employees can save them for reference when the election period comes around.
For example, if you have online benefits material for last year’s open enrollment, you can make changes for 2024’s enrollment and distribute the information well in advance.
5.Make it Easy to Enroll
52% of employers have taken action to enhance the enrollment process. With more employees working from home, virtual open enrollment is becoming the most practical option for many employers.
While your open enrollment window may be during a fixed date, it’s crucial to make enrollment in all your company’s benefits easy and inclusive for all your employees—no matter their location, time of day, or device.
Conclusion
Providing resources, communicating early, and making enrollment easy are effective strategies to help your employees navigate their health insurance market and enhance their experience throughout the enrollment window and beyond.
