After wrapping up open enrollment, many of us are wondering, �“What happens now?”

A quick follow-up goes a long way in keeping folks confident instead of confused.

Here’s the simple checklist of post-OE actions that help alleviate some of the post OE mystery:�
📅 Verify when new coverage actually kicks in�
🔍 How to double-check if they picked the right plan�
🪪 Where to grab ID cards or temporary ones�
❓ Who to reach out to for help�
📎 Any dependents/docs they still need to add
A tiny bit of clarity now = way fewer “Hey, quick question…” messages later. 🙏�
Give people the next step, and they’ll actually use their benefits from day one. 🚀

🛑 The #1 Mistake in Benefits Communications 🛑

Most companies cram every bullet point into their benefits education and content... but here’s the truth: employees don’t want an encyclopedia or a brochure with background music.

They want something that speaks their language, shows empathy, and helps them make real-life decisions.

What a coincidence... that’s exactly what we do. 🎯

Benefits info scattered in emails, PDFs, and half a dozen platforms?

It’s no surprise that employees tune out, miss deadlines, or don’t take full advantage of what’s available to them.

One of the easiest ways to drive better benefits engagement, education, and utilization is by creating a central hub... a single place employees know they can go when they have a benefits-related question or need to take action.

We’ve been helping employer groups set up microsites that do exactly that:

✅ Host videos, guides, and onboarding resources
✅ Link out to carriers, vendors, or enrollment systems
✅ Spotlight campaigns like wellness incentives or Open Enrollment
✅ Make benefits feel easier to understand and navigate

Whether you’re onboarding new hires or launching your next engagement push, having a “one stop shop” makes a difference.
