Really rarely do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the issue is something that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I am very glad that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing referring to this.

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0000 http://webdev.preceptgroup.com/blog/?p=2621#comment-29 Open Enrollment for many companies is at the beginning of the year. However for some it's at the beginning of the new fiscal year such as for universities. Working in the benefits office of a major Big 10 University I have seen many scenarios played out between the GIR (group insurance rep) and the employee; both staff and faculty. The percentage of employees who are not aware of the choices they are making when it comes to their benefits, is staggering. Even though representatives from each of the insurance companies that are offered come to the campus to peddle their wares and explain in great detail what their company will do for the employee. Many do not understand what a flex spending account is, medical or dependent. These accounts can save the employee thousands per year in pre-tax dollars. This is where the GIR needs to be accessed. They can go into great detail with the employee on how the flex works and why it would benefit or perhaps not benefit the employee. Some of the most confused about their benefits and what is offered, are faculty. Those people who have the highest education on campus. Some are ignorning options open to them that would not only save them many thousands each year in pre tax dollars but would also enhance retirement accounts. Holding meetings or talks prior to each open enrollment would certainly help some people make their decisions. With having a large campus, talks would need to take place in many different areas and would need to start at least three to four months prior to the onset of open enrollment. However this would help to educate most of the employees on the campus. Of course you will always have the percentage that either are not willing to attend a seminar/talk or ones who do not find it necessary or some who just cannot find the time away from work. Bottom line: All companies and entities that offer benefits to their employees should do all they can to educate their employees regarding the choices they will eventually make.
