As an HR department of one, “open enrollment is always an adventure and some years more so than others,” said Cathy Clement, SHRM-CP.
Clement is the HR manager at Ewing-Foley Inc. (EFI) in Cupertino, Calif. The firm, with 97 employees, provides regional sales services for manufacturers without their own Western U.S. sales reps. The company’s 30-day enrollment season is “basically, the month of November,” she said.
Grace Dobson is HR manager at Montgomery Village Foundation, a nonprofit organization with 55 employees that provides services to the residents of Montgomery Village, Md., a planned community.
