Clarity Benefit Solutions Discusses Bridging the Benefits Communication Gap

NEW YORK, April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- HSA companies like Clarity Benefit Solutions, discusses bridging the benefits communication gap.

A large communications gap exists in the world of benefits, particularly with the younger generations. With employees focused on furthering their careers and tapped into technology, they may not be thinking about their benefits. It is up to brokers and employers to bridge this benefits communication gap by presenting the range of benefits available in a concise, yet engaging manner so employees can clearly comprehend their benefit choices. Here are some methods to bridge the benefits communication gap.

• Don't wait to begin. Even though the open enrollment period has passed, it is still vital to deliver benefits information. Survey employees to see if they understand, and are satisfied with, current offerings. Work with the HR department to ensure that plan providers are adequate, and employees' needs are being met.
• Become an expert. Not only is the healthcare industry constantly evolving, there is a great deal of acronyms and complex terminology to navigate. To bridge the benefits communication gap, brokers must keep on top of changes, so they can convey the proper information to their clients. It is not up to the clients to stay abreast of industry developments. Conduct thorough research to ensure a complete understanding of benefits terminology, structure, coverage, cost, etc. Read up on trends such as wellness programs and virtual medical visits.
• Educate efficiently. Employers typically employ people in all walks of life. Therefore, they will have different preferences regarding how they wish to receive benefits information. Offer them a combination of print, email, website, social media, and company-wide meetings so employees can choose how to best absorb this information. Use simple, direct language, and provide updates throughout the year. Be accessible to answer any questions that may arise.
• Offer convenient access. Most employees want the ability to access benefits information outside of the office walls. Keep all benefits information online via the company's website or intranet so employees can access it from anywhere—at any time. Provide content that will engage employees to learn the best ways to keep maximizing their benefits.
