At BRI, we believe that education and communication are critical when it comes to employee benefits. By educating employees about their benefits and staying communicative, employers can help ensure that employees are getting the most out of their benefits package – which is good for both the employer and the employee.

Luminaries Class of 2022

We are thrilled to have our Vice President of Strategy, Becky Seefeldt, honored in the inaugural BenefitsPRO Luminaries Class of 2022, in the category of Education and Communication.

We believe that this honor is a testament to Becky’s hard work and commitment to our company, our clients, and the industry as a whole.

But beyond her individual achievement, this honor speaks to the importance of education and communication when it comes to employee benefits. In today’s rapidly changing landscape, it’s more important than ever for employers to provide their employees with accurate and up-to-date information about their benefits.

Education in Benefits

Employee benefits can be complex, and it is important that employees understand what they are signing up for. All too often, we see employees who enroll in a benefit only to find out later that it doesn’t meet their needs – or worse, that they are ineligible for the benefit because they didn’t understand the eligibility requirements.

By ensuring that employees are educated about their benefits before they enroll, employers can help avoid these situations. Employers should provide employees with clear and concise materials about their benefits options and make sure that employees have access to someone who can answer any questions they may have.

Communication is Key

Employee benefits are always changing – new laws are passed, new options become available, etc. It is important that employers keep employees up-to-date on these changes so that they can make informed decisions about their benefits. Additionally, regular communication helps to build trust between employer and employee.

Education and communication are both essential when it comes to employee benefits. By educating employees about their benefits and communicating year-round, employers can help ensure that employees are getting the most out of their benefits package.
