Empower Your Employees to Make Informed Benefit Decisions During Open Enrollment with Workday

Open Enrollment is a critical time for your employees to reassess and adjust their benefits plans. However, this period can often feel overwhelming, especially when navigating through the complexities of benefit options that must align with each employee’s unique needs. As an HR leader, it’s your responsibility to simplify this process and ensure that your employees can make the best choices during this time. With Workday’s powerful suite of tools, you can streamline Open Enrollment and empower your employees to make decisions that reflect their current needs and future goals.

Key Workday Modules for Open Enrollment Success

To help you provide a smooth and personalized Open Enrollment experience, Workday offers several key modules that are designed to simplify the process for you and your employees.

1. Workday Benefits
   This module allows you to manage and customize your organization's benefits offerings. You can easily set up and present various benefit options to employees, helping them navigate available health plans, retirement options, and other benefits. With an intuitive, user-friendly interface, Workday Benefits makes it easy for employees to understand their options, compare plans, and make choices that best suit their personal and family needs.

• Life Events
  Life events such as marriage, the birth of a child, or changes in employment status can all impact an employee’s benefit choices. With Life Events, you can seamlessly guide your employees through adjustments to their benefits. This ensures that employees are able to update their benefits as their life circumstances change—especially during the Open Enrollment period.

2. Workday Payroll
   Integrating benefits with payroll allows you to provide employees with clear visibility into how their benefits choices will affect their paychecks. This integration ensures that employees can make decisions without surprises regarding deductions. It also helps you ensure that all adjustments are automatically reflected in the payroll system, saving time for both HR and employees.
3. Workday Learning
   Educating your employees about their benefits options is essential to empowering them to make informed decisions. Workday Learning enables you to provide webinars, FAQs, and educational resources to help employees understand their benefits better. With access to these resources, employees can confidently choose the benefits that will serve them best in both the short and long term.

Simplify the Open Enrollment Process with Workday

The Open Enrollment period can be a stressful time for employees. Still, with Workday, you can simplify the process and ensure that employees have the information they need to make confident, informed choices. Workday’s system allows employees to easily review available benefits, compare options, and adjust their coverage with minimal effort.

As an HR leader, Workday makes it easier than ever to create a customized benefits package for your organization. You can provide employees with clear, concise details about new or updated plans for the coming year, ensuring they’re aware of all available options. This level of clarity helps employees feel more in control of their decisions.

Personalize the Experience for your Employees

Personalization is key to truly empowering your employees. Workday’s benefits system uses employee profiles to deliver personalized recommendations based on their demographics, family situation, and past benefit choices. This tailored approach reduces confusion and provides your employees with specific suggestions that best meet their needs.

Additionally, Workday offers automated reminders and prompts to ensure that no employee misses important deadlines during Open Enrollment. By setting these reminders, you can ensure that employees are fully informed and have the time to make the best choices.

Give Your Employees Visibility into Their Future

A key part of Open Enrollment is ensuring that employees align their benefits choices with their long-term goals. Workday’s robust tools allow employees to project the future impact of their decisions, particularly regarding retirement plans. Employees can simulate different scenarios to see how their savings may grow over time, helping them make informed decisions about their financial future.

Workday also offers full transparency into benefits costs, making it easier for employees to understand the total value of the benefits they’re selecting. For example, they can assess the cost of different health plans, see how various deductible options will affect their out-of-pocket expenses, and decide which plan fits best with their financial goals.

Conclusion

Open Enrollment is a crucial opportunity to ensure your employees are aligned with benefits that best suit their needs, both today and in the future. With Workday’s suite of benefits management tools, you can deliver a more seamless, transparent, and personalized experience for your employees
