Employee benefits education may not have the same glamour as some trending HR topics, such as social media use at work or smart data, but it’s still critically relevant. Data from the ADP Research Institute® reveals that just 58 percent of HR leaders believe their talent has a “full understanding of their benefits options,” which means 42 percent of employees aren’t being served by education efforts.
While the majority of employers are currently mailing educational materials to employees’ homes and sending emails, these tactics aren’t the most successful methods. Benefits content is inherently complicated, and employees cannot be satisfied by offerings they do not understand.
