A communication artifact, dispatched during a companys designated period, informs personnel of their opportunity to elect or modify benefit plans. This communication typically outlines available healthcare, dental, vision, and other ancillary options. An example would include an email clearly stating the enrollment window, providing links to benefit summaries and enrollment portals, and outlining any changes to existing plans.
The value of these communications resides in their ability to foster informed decision-making, mitigate confusion regarding benefit elections, and ensure optimal employee engagement. Historically, such communications were often delivered via printed materials. However, email has become the prevalent method due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to direct recipients to online resources.
