?? Feeling anxious about open enrollment season? Here’s a tip to make the process a little easier: Work with your ERGs to spread the word about benefits. ERGs can be powerful allies when it comes to spreading the word about open enrollment. By meeting with them to share key updates to your benefits program, you can discuss how changes impact different employee populations. With that insight, create customized marketing materials for each ERG to distribute within their networks. When ERGs are engaged and empowered with the right tools, they become a trusted, effective channel for word-of-mouth marketing, reaching employees in a more personal, impactful way. #OpenEnrollment #EmployeeBenefits

This is pretty self-evident: when employees match with the right benefits, it can greatly improve their lives. It's almost so simple that we take it for granted, but we need to remember that many employees, particularly those new to the job market, may not immediately know or understand what they need from their benefits. Education and empowerment will help these members connect with the best benefits for their lives, and utilization rates will follow suit. Helping employees navigate open enrollment, understanding what it all means, it's a year-round job. But it's one we're really good at.

Open Enrollment went GREAT this year!…said no HR person ever. …except me, this year. ?? This year’s open enrollment was an active one at Cylinder, with lots of changes. We’re moving off a PEO, working with a new broker, and starting the new year with a new medical carrier. I had my work cut out for me to educate employees on the new plans and the required action everyone would have to take. ?? One of my team’s OKRs for the quarter was to develop and execute a communication strategy around Open Enrollment, and I landed on the perfect solution: memes. Lots of them. The cringier the better. Every day or two for two weeks, I posted memes in our company-wide announcement channel. I updated my Slack status to include silly emojis and messages. All the posts were accompanied by a movie quote or joke, as well as a nugget of information or call to action. I figured that if employees were rolling their eyes and laughing at my posts, at least they were reading them. ?? And it WORKED. Employees engaged with the posts. They joked about the references I made. They asked questions. A handful of folks even told me that they made a point to read everything I posted because they knew it would be funny. The result? 100% of eligible employees were enrolled in a new plan more than 24 hours before our deadline. Our brokers and enrollment platform managers sent me a series of all-caps emails that basically boiled down to “THIS IS GOING SO SMOOTHLY” and “I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT.” Even our CEO Bill Snyder gave me a shout-out for "bringing the funny to Open Enrollment," which I'm pretty sure is a sentence that's never been said before. The strategy paid off even better than I anticipated, and that's one more item checked off my Q4 list. Excuse me while I ride this high through the end of the calendar year. ??
