What’s the rush? Employees want time to mull benefits choices

Employees need time to make big benefits decisions. Most benefits managers know this; what might not be known is more communication methods are needed to allow for the best decision making.

“So many times benefits education is general, but the dynamic and employees’ interest level changes when it’s specific to them,” says Bill Dalicandro, vice president at Unum. “Allowing at least three weeks to review at least three types of education methods adds up to better benefits education.”
