Your organization cannot unlock new opportunities by sticking to old ways. To effectively attract, retain, and engage your workforce, it’s imperative to let go of outdated processes and mindsets. Your employee benefits program represents a significant organizational expense, but it’s most likely unappreciated. Its value is frequently overlooked because the messaging fails to capture the attention of your audience or fails to resonate with them. Open enrollment is a massive drain on organizational resources, but employees tend to view it as a necessary inconvenience rather than a genuine “employee benefit.” We can help.

This Learning Center combines data, content, psychology, and technology to reshape your open enrollment, recruiting, and ongoing engagement approach. During this session, we will take a deeper dive into the following:

• The data and psychology that make a case for change

• Be a Change Catalyst and not a Change Victim

• Communicate and be strategic about when and how organizational change occurs

• Learn how to give context to others regularly

• How to prioritize and simplify your messaging

• Distinguish between “checking a box” and engaging your workforce

• Employing effective techniques to break through the clutter and reach your employees
