Complete Open Enrollment On Time
Open enrollment for employee benefits is a critical and time-sensitive process. Employees may delay completing their paperwork and have numerous questions when they do. Using a direct and convenient communication method allows you to send timely reminders about deadlines, address their questions quickly, and ensure that all paperwork is completed on time.
How you might currently be doing this
- Emails
- Pay stub memos

- Providing in-person assistance during shifts

Why Use Team Engine Instead
Accessibility: Many employees may not regularly check email or may lack access to it, but 97% of US adults own a mobile phone and can receive text messages.
Engagement: Text messaging provides a conversational and accessible way for employees to quickly get answers to their questions, leading to faster completion of open enrollment.
Convenience: Tracking down field employees in person for open enrollment can be challenging due to varying job sites and schedules. Team Engine simplifies this process by allowing easy communication via text, regardless of location or hours.
How you can use Team Engine to do this
