  1. Enrollment Reality: Employees Aren’t Engaged In the complex and often unfamiliar world of employee benefits, associate engagement can wane during the enrollment process, with many workers rushing through their benefits selections with little extra thought – sometimes at the last minute.

  2. Enrollment Reality: Employees Need More Help Disengagement can signal a lack of knowledge versus a lack of interest, however, and may warrant a more hands-on approach to the enrollment process on the part of the employer.

  3. Enrollment Reality: Education = Engagement = Loyalty Ensuring employees have access to tools and resources will enable them to make more informed benefits choices and can pay off in the form of greater loyalty.

  4. Do What Matters Most: Perception Is Not Always Reality The Study found that there is a disconnect between the communication tactics employers use, or perceive as useful, and what employees actually want during the enrollment process. This can result in missed opportunities to connect with employees.

  5. Do What Matters Most: Let Your Employees Be Your Guide In understanding the unique needs of their employees, companies can prioritize their enrollment activities, focusing first on the tactics that will have the greatest impact. A well-mapped enrollment plan can save time and money, all while boosting participation and loyalty.

  6. Look Forward: Technology is Trending Social media and mobile apps for benefits may not rank highest on the list of tools that employees say they find most helpful at enrollment. But, take a closer look at the responses by age and a different picture emerges.
