Employee benefits are a significant part of your business compensation plan and can also be a deciding factor for employees looking for a new company to work for. In fact, when companies are trying to hire the best of the best, they often turn to employee benefits to seal the deal with top candidates. As a result, when it comes to the always confusing and overwhelming process of enrolling in all the benefits that your company offers, employees are seeking adequate communication before the enrollment period begins. Here are the key steps to make sure that all your employees have the proper communication they need before enrolling in benefit packages so ultimately they make the best decisions for themselves and their families.
Notify All Employees Of Any Changes
If any changes are coming that affect their coverage with any benefit package offered, it is imperative you let your employees know. The reason for this is that the changes could ultimately sway whether or not they choose to stay with that benefit or not. In fact, whether you are adding or removing a provider, employees want to know everything, because it really does affect them. Giving employees plenty of time to weigh all their options and look at the different options available will allow them to make an informed decision.
Offer Various Communication Options
When you share all pre-enrollment information with your employees, you’ll also want to be sure to give employees different ways to reach the representative who can provide them more detailed information about the various benefits offered and how it directly affects their paycheck and their lives as a whole. That way, you can be sure you’ve answered all or at least most of their questions ahead of time.
Explain The Entire Enrollment Process
When it comes to enrolling in any benefit program, there are always important deadlines to consider, and voluntary and supplementary benefits are no different. The deadlines associated with insurance benefits are often hard and fast which is why employees need all the information in front of them so that they know when they have to make a decision and how long they have to weigh all their options.
