Plan for a successful enrollment After you select the workplace voluntary benefits that are right for your business, you ll want to talk to your agent about an enrollment method that works best for you and your employees. Some factors to consider include: product mix, age of employee population, available technologies, and culture. A well-planned communication and enrollment strategy can lead to higher employee participation rates. Call your agent or log on to the secure employer section of Humana.com to order payroll inserts and posters. Choose the enrollment option that fits your business Enroll employees at the workplace in one-to-one meetings. These meetings provide a highly personalized experience for the employee, and as a result participation and satisfaction rates generally are higher compared to other methods. Enroll employees at the workplace in group meetings. This allows employees to learn about these valuable benefits along with their peers. Employees may feel more comfortable in a larger group setting and can ask both the enroller or peers questions they have about the benefits. This method is faster than face-to-face meetings but is not as personalized. Have employees enroll on their own through the Web. Online enrollment is an ideal enrollment solution for clients who have an employee population that s comfortable using online technology. With this method, you lose the personal interaction of an onsite benefit counselor; however, interactive presentations can be used to help educate employees. Online enrollment is available for groups with 100 or more employees. Personal one-to-one meetings with employees generally result in higher participation and satisfaction compared to other enrollment methods. 10
