With Spooky season on the horizon it's only fitting that we talk about…dun dun dun...OPEN ENROLLMENT SEASON! 

As the leaves turn and pumpkin spice lattes make their triumphant return, we can't help but notice that open enrollment season is creeping up on us. But fear not! With the expert guidance of Atomus Partners, there's absolutely no need to be spooked.  We'll shed light on the importance of open enrollment, clarify the process, and share how we can make it a treat for your organization.

Unmasking Open Enrollment

Open enrollment is the annual window when employees can make changes to their benefits without needing a qualifying life event. It's the time to reassess and customize healthcare, dental plans, vision coverage, retirement contributions, and other vital benefits.

The Frights of Ignoring Open Enrollment

Skipping open enrollment can lead to ghoulish consequences for both employers and employees:

  • Missed Opportunities: Without open enrollment, employees might miss out on valuable benefits they need.
  •  
  • Financial Shock: Overlooking changes in healthcare plans or retirement contributions can lead to unexpected financial shocks.
  •  
  • Lost Engagement: Neglecting open enrollment can result in disengaged and dissatisfied employees who may feel left in the dark about their benefits.
  •  

The Treats of Embracing Open Enrollment

  • Choice and Customization: Open enrollment empowers employees by letting them choose benefits that match their unique needs and life situations.
  •  
  • Financial Wellness: It's the perfect time for employees to align their financial goals with the right benefits, whether it's contributing to a 401(k) or exploring flexible spending accounts.

  • Health and Wellness: Many open enrollment periods include opportunities to boost health and wellness through updated health insurance plans, wellness programs, and resources that encourage a healthier lifestyle.
