Open enrollment season is here, presenting a critical opportunity to provide your working parents with the benefits they need to care for their families, combat burnout, and stay productive. But any HR leader knows that offering great benefits is only half the battle—getting employees to engage with them is another challenge. The numbers tell the story: ◆ Less than half of employees (49%) take advantage of voluntary benefits offered by their employer. ◆ 65% of employees don’t fully understand the value of their health benefits. ◆ 53% of organizations struggle to communicate their benefits options effectively. Clear, effective communication during open enrollment is essential for educating employees on their options and driving engagement year-round.

ATTN, MY HR PROFESSIONALS! You likely already know this, but this is a terrific article to share with your faculty to encourage them to really review their choices for 2025!! "While open enrollment typically offers employees a two-week window during which they can make benefits selections, the study found that the average amount of time Americans spent making these choices last year ranged from only 30-60 minutes. In comparison, the average American spends nearly two hours on social media every day."

Interesting read. There's a clear indication of a growing interest in exploring alternative working arrangements to enhance productivity and employee well-being.

OE experience plays an integral part in the value employees see in their benefits throughout the year. If over half regret their decision, time to review how OE is being conducted and the resources available. https://lnkd.in/ehArGurp
