Everyone Benefits From Year-Round Benefits Communication
For most organizations, employee benefits communication kicks into high gear during open enrollment season. During this time, there is a surge in emails, educational webinars, fliers throughout the office, and a barrage of forms demanding signatures.

Open Enrollment: What Is It and How Does It Work?
For millions of Americans, the end of the year is open enrollment season – a yearly opportunity to take stock of your health care needs and select the health insurance plan that works best for you. It is a window of time – typically in the fall – when you can sign up for health insurance, review, assess, and modify your existing benefits.

Think of it like planning a trip: you don’t pack a surfboard if you are planning to hike in the mountains. Likewise, there is a lot to think about when selecting a health plan for the next year. What does it cost? Does it include your prescription or preferred doctors? Understanding health insurance basics and how open enrollment works is essential for making informed choices about your benefits and insurance coverage.
