- Here we are again. The start of the 2022 open enrollment season. Open enrollment is mandatory once a year time frame you as the employer can change benefits and your employees can change, enroll, or decline benefits. In short, having an open enrollment period followed by a 12-month contract year allows the insurance carrier to manage its risk (but that’s for another article).
I’m sure as a staffing company owner, executive, or member of the HR team the conversation around benefits never entirely goes away. Below are some topics I would be discussing.
Does the level of benefits I offer to match the respective employee population? For example; many times the management team of a staffing company will be provided a certain benefit package while the temp staff is offered a different package.- How well do I understand the impact of the day-to-day
operations of benefits? I.E., enrollment, billing, monthly management
(adds/terms), and more. This
can have an impact on your HR team in the aspect of time and
resources.
- Employee benefits brokers are the first and best line of
defense. What level of
service and industry knowledge does my benefit broker provide?
A knowledgeable and
experienced employee benefits professional can save
your business time & money while
providing a much-needed employee benefits package.
These are just a few topics that can have a drastic impact on your team, budget, ability to attract high-quality employees, and more.
Our team has a collective 30 years of experience working in the employee benefits space with a concentration in the staffing industry. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
