Benefits Think How to help employees take control of their healthcare during open enrollment

Updated 4 Min Read

Open enrollment season is here, and while your HR team has spent weeks preparing, many people would rather go to the DMV than review the details of healthcare plans. According to new research by Unum, a benefits provider and insurance company, 75% of people will spend just 45 minutes on their healthcare decisions. Devoting such limited time could mean employees are not truly engaging with their benefit options.

As an HR department, what can you do to ensure that your employees are making active, educated decisions and staying engaged with their choices to get the most out of their benefits? Over the past few years, we’ve discussed this topic with HR professionals and have compiled a quick strategy to help employers and employees get through the open enrollment season with ease.
