Top three enrollment mistakes to avoid

Benefits aren't a one-size-fits-all deal, so we shouldn’t talk about them as if they were. To combat gaps in understanding and the resulting flood of questions to HR, offer different ways to communicate, like email, postcards, online portals and in-person events.

It's also important to keep the lines of communication about benefits open year-round, not just during enrollment season. Keep communications coming often to make sure you're reaching each employee in the way that's best for them.

Enrollment season isn't the time for HR to be going on a paper chase. Create a smoother enrollment process with tech-savvy solutions.

Using a platform that's easy to navigate and understand will help streamline the HR process, make it easier for employees to enroll in their benefits and reduce the amount of manual tasks HR has to tackle.
