How well a company communicates the value of its benefits program can do more to retain quality employees than the actual richness of the benefits themselves.
New England Enrollment Strategies’ employer services are specifically provided to support your benefits administration and to provide you a simple way of offering additional voluntary benefits. Only through NEES can you find these benefit solutions all together in one simple streamlined process.
Our Employer Services include:
Core/Voluntary Benefits Enrollment and Education:
NEES’ licensed benefit counselor will conduct individual meetings with your employees to communicate and/or enroll employer-sponsored and personal insurance benefits. Our experienced staff will put together a customized enrollment timeline that accommodates each and every employee at your workplace. Benefit elections are collected electronically during the enrollment and then uploaded into your system allowing for the information to be entered into your payroll.
Personalized Benefit Statement:
NEES will provide each employee with a personalized benefit statement. These illustrations give employees a snapshot of their entire compensation package, including benefits and salary, which can help them understand the value of their benefits program.
Personalized Benefit Booklet:
NEES will provide each employee with a benefit booklet that will provide a detailed overview of each benefit that you provide for them- core and voluntary. It is a custom illustration that incorporates your company logo and explanation for each employee benefit you provide. This greatly enhances employee understanding of how their benefits work in addition to the cost associated with your benefit program.
Consumer-driven Health Plans Enrollment and Education:
As health insurance premiums increase, Consumer-driven Health Plans are becoming increasingly more popular. With these plans comes an increased demand for benefit communication and education. Studies reveal that the most effective way to conduct enrollments and increase participation in Consumer-driven Health Plans is through a series of group and one-to-one meetings. We can help you succeed in your CDHP implementation by helping your employees understand the advantages of these plans.
