Product Spotlight: Enrollment Advocate
Enhanced Support for Employees During Open Enrollment
Helping employees understand major benefit changes presents a challenge to an overextended HR staff. Our trained benefits specialists can step in to ensure that all of your employees understand the ins and outs of their coverage before the enrollment deadline so they can make the best choices.
