In the event that your employer contacts are not interested or willing to dedicate a significant amount of time and effort to increasing employee benefits enrollment, we’re providing a few simple tips to increase enrollment with as little challenge as possible. Check them out below.
Pay Stubs
Every employee looks forward to the magical envelope that they receive weekly or bi-weekly… Yes, we’re talking about their paychecks! With every paycheck comes a pay stub that details the amount they’re being paid, how their pay is taxed, and any deductions that are removed. Pay stubs are distributed to employees regardless of whether they are sent physically or electronically.
Since all employees receive a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck and therefore pay stubs, sharing information within a pay stub is an ideal platform for communication—as it’s guaranteed all employees will receive it. Additionally, by communicating information about benefits options within their pay stubs, their financial information is already right in front of them as they consider the affordability of available benefit options.
PDF One-Pagers
One-pagers are a great opportunity to share information with employees as well. Simplifying information into a consolidated single page allows ease of understanding and direction for how to proceed. Distributing such materials is an effective way to share a significant amount of information and answer initial questions employees may have.
Including a simple call to action, such as the broker’s contact information, provides a clear direction of how they can address additional questions and express their interest without the employer being directly involved.
