With only half of employees understanding their benefits, the time has come to devote more time to actually helping them use their benefits.

Employee benefit brokers are well-positioned to provide ongoing value to their employer clients well beyond the annual open-enrollment period.

Organizations can benefit from a hybrid approach that combines the best of both worlds.

Adapting to evolutionary change will ensure that advisers are always providing the best guidance and support to their clients.

In helping clients adapt to increasingly demanding employee populations, we need to be more mindful of purpose, flexibility, culture, career development and wellness.

A thoughtful approach will help attract and retain talent, dimming the noise around musical chairs in a challenging labor market.
