It’s 2024, so by now most companies have some type of technology that they use to communicate and enroll their employee benefits, beyond the insurance company brochures. (IF your company doesn’t have a system and you’re using scans or faxes or .pdf’s, stop reading and call us IMMEDIATELY!)
Considering that costs for employee benefits are a multiple, six-figure expense for most companies and the single most important tool for attracting and retaining employees…. The question is: are you getting the maximum amount of mileage from the communication of your company employee benefits?
Perhaps the single, most important advancement in employee, culture, and engagement is to provide a clear understanding of how their benefits work; not only HOW they work, but specifically to them and their family’s needs. With benefits being one of the least understood and most important assets people have, it’s too late to learn ‘where to go and whom to reach’ when in time of need – people get sick.
Employees need a place (online) to constantly have access to, be able to review and understand what their plans do, how they work, and where the resources are for the problems that are going on in their lives at that moment!
At CorpStrat, our #1 tool for helping companies communicate benefits is a technology called EASE. EASE is a simple, easy-to-use, custom designed tool for each client portal/app that allows for benefit enrollment, benefit communication, premium elections, dependent eligibility, as well as purchasing various voluntary benefits. They get access to their pre-tax accounts, and contacts for who to reach and where when they need it most – not just open enrollment. We simplify the enrollment process for HR administrators so they can be productive, and easily and simply port contributions to payroll and communicate ads, and delete and make changes to carriers.
CorpStrat brings EASE to our clients without charge at expense to our agency, because we believe it is the single and best way to communicate your offerings in the marketplace.
Many companies have an HRIS system (Human Resource Information System), but they don’t always do a great job for benefits, because they’re trying to do perhaps too many things at once. For some HRIS systems, the limitations of the system can ‘short’ the benefit communications. We encourage all of our clients to work closely with us to find the right tools to help their companies succeed, to grow, to attract, and reward the most important assets of every company, their people! This component is only one of the key ingredients that make their company successful.
Reach out to us at CorpStrat to discuss how you communicate and enroll benefits at your company.
