Whether you call it open enrollment or annual enrollment, it’s the big show for HR. To prepare for this important milestone, you need careful planning and an employee-first mindset. But with rising healthcare costs and diverse workforce needs, it can be difficult to structure an open enrollment that reaches everyone. How can you ensure a successful rollout that empowers employees and their well-being?

With open enrollment usually falling around the holiday season, you can also expect most people to have a lot already on their minds. Like you, they’ll be busy. On top of balancing work deadlines, holiday shopping, and personal commitments, it can be hard to dedicate quality time to reviewing next year’s benefits options. It’s tricky for employees to focus on making well-informed benefits choices when they’re keeping so many plates spinning. That’s why it’s important to communicate about enrollment season well in advance. It gives people multiple opportunities to mark it in their calendars.

Open enrollment can be a challenging time. That’s why it’s so important to have a strategy in place. You want people to be aware of the benefits and resources you offer that fit their needs. But do they read the booklets, brochures, and emails you send out?
