A new study from LegalShield indicates that employees are looking for a little more guidance when it comes to understanding employee benefit offerings and how to utilize them.
For example, nearly half of the more than 800 employees who were surveyed claimed that they did not feel that they were sufficiently prepared for the decisions they were making during open enrollment periods. Further, more than 8 out of 10 of the survey respondents responded positively to the possibility of keeping active lines of communication about benefits open throughout the year as opposed to only or primarily during open enrollment periods.
