Employee Benefits Administrator, Clarity Benefit Solutions, Provides Three Simple Steps for Brokers to Become Open Enrollment Champions

NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Employee benefits administrator, Clarity Benefit Solutions, provides three simple steps for brokers to become open enrollment champions.

For employers and employees, open enrollment is an extremely busy time—occurring once a year—when employers relay benefits information, ensure employee understanding, and encourage enrollment. For brokers, it is much more than that. They must prepare in advance, work with their clients during the open enrollment period, and provide ongoing support throughout the year. Here are three simple steps brokers can take to become the champions of open enrollment.

Make a game plan. Savvy brokers will take the time to assess and evaluate all data from the previous period of open enrollment, examining factors such as which employees switched plans, which plans experienced significant changes in enrollment numbers, and whether or not anticipated metrics were met. It is also the time to consider benefits strategies—and goals—for the upcoming open enrollment period. Brokers should make it a priority to keep up with any changes in compliance, so they can relay these changes to their clients and ensure a seamless open enrollment. It is also vital to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, so they can implement successful strategies to their clients during this critical time.

Be an effective coach. Now that the "game" has started, brokers need to take an active role in ensuring employees have a complete understanding of all their options as they begin to make important decisions. Present this information in a variety of mediums. Meetings, flyers, posters, emails, internet, social media, webinars, and apps can deliver the vital information and reach employees of all ages. Once the benefits information is disseminated, brokers should make themselves available to answer any questions that may arise.

Support the team. Once the open enrollment period is over for their clients, brokers must work to keep the employees engaged over the course of the year. Send emails with updated benefits information. Hold webinars to share tips and tricks. Regular updates will keep employees interested in their benefits and make the process smoother the next year.
