Plan ahead with Mercer's open enrollment checklist
Against the backdrop of health care reform, planning and prioritizing health benefit programs for 2013 is an immediate need for plan sponsors. Employers may find strategies and tactics for rolling out plans to be more complex. Based on key survey findings, Mercer has developed a short checklist to help ensure an efficient and effective open enrollment season.
Use open enrollment to reinforce the value of your health and benefits program
Employees clearly appreciate their employer-sponsored benefits. According to the 2011 Mercer Workplace Survey, 79% say their benefits are one of the primary reasons they work where they do, and 91% say that getting health benefits through work is just as important as getting a salary. Open enrollment is also a great opportunity to promote the tools and educational materials that help employees make better enrollment decisions. [Image: Shutterstock]
