Recently, I was speaking to a group, and a question came up about benefits communication and I was asked,
“when did insurance companies, enrollment firms, and brokers start having discussions regarding “benefits communication” to their clients?”
I knew I had the attached picture from 1972, so I knew it was as far back as then. While I don’t know the exact answer to when, I do know the following;
When firms communicate the value of employer benefits to employees, satisfaction with their benefits package more than doubles.
The debate is most likely, which is the best way to enroll benefits? Is it,
- Carrier rep
- Independent agent
- Enrollment firm
- Call center
- Online enrollment
- Other method
I would love to hear your opinions regarding this. Go to www.jeffhyman.net and leave me a message.
