Many businesses have been forced to adapt to new working conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many workers maintain a hybrid or remote work schedule. With the rise of remote employment, the focus has shifted to developing clear communication. This is vital to employers being able to communicate and meet the needs of their employees. Another major concern for employees stems from rising inflation and talk of an upcoming recession. This is the time when employees look to their employers for guidance. Let them know you care during the open-enrollment period by developing a plan that fits everyone’s needs.
Communication Means Success
As open enrollment is approaching, the need for effective and open communication is the biggest asset employers can implement. It’s imperative that employees have access to all information about each plan and can ask questions about it. Employees want to communicate with their employers. As the open enrollment period begins, they will be looking for guidance. Developing an open line of communication will create a happy, healthy, and productive workforce.
Virtual communication is not likely to change anytime in the future. Even as businesses welcome their employees to return to in-person positions, virtual communication is here to stay. At the click of a button, employees can access their information when and where they need it. This will allow employees to understand their benefit plan offerings. When there is easier access to learning, employees will be more likely to take advantage of the offerings provided.
