Communicating about valuable benefits and programs isn’t a one-time-a-year, only-in-the-fall obligation. It’s a must-do throughout the year, so all your work yields a measurable payoff you can brag about.
Remind employees what they signed up for, and how to make the most of the benefits you work so hard to provide. This monthly benefits calendar offers topics, tips, and examples HR can rely on for engaging with employees all year — from encouraging preventive care and promoting your EAP to fighting the flu and saving on medications.

Keep the Benefits Conversation Going… Not Just During OE
By the time Open Enrollment season is over, you might think employees are tired of hearing about benefits. But this is when the benefits conversation (and employee benefits communications) begin.
Once elections have been made, it’s time to step up and stave off buyer’s remorse — or worse, let benefits go unused. Statistics from many studies (Harris Poll and NAAYA to name two) show that employees overwhelmingly choose the same benefits year after year because they don’t understand their options.
Clear and consistent employee benefits communication can turn that around and increase employees’ overall satisfaction with their benefits… and their employer. Remind employees about their benefits — and how to use them — all year long. The benefits calendar above makes it easy to find topics each month.
