Top Employee Communication Challenges

Employers are struggling to empower their employees to be strong health care consumers. In fact, 2 in 5 employees don’t understand the benefits communications they receive, and 53% of employers’ health care spend is wasted every year due to employee confusion.

Common employee communication challenges include:

  • Geographically and generationally dispersed employees with different communication styles
  • A disjointed, inconsistent approach to employee communications prior to, during and after open enrollment
  • A lack of year-round benefits communication

To help employers overcome these challenges, we offer a wide range of employee communication solutions intended to address each aspect of total rewards, while showcasing your offerings, educating your employees, enhancing benefits utilization and offering support throughout open enrollment and beyond.

When you partner with CBIZ, we’ll help you create better employee benefits communication options that allow employees to make more informed benefits decisions and enhance the values-based work you’re already doing every day.
