Employee Benefits Communication

Employee Benefit Communications

By communicating benefits more regularly, HR managers can see higher engagement and satisfaction in using employee benefits, ultimately driving better retention and employee well-being.

Helping Non-Desk Employees To Understand Employees Benefits

An insurance plan is only valuable if employees are aware of and understand how to use it. With Yourco, HR managers can effectively explain and promote insurance benefits to non-desk staff through their preferred communication channels. This ensures that employees not only enroll in but also utilize the benefits available to them. Notably, 80% of text messages are read, compared to only 20% of emails, making Yourco a powerful tool for reaching employees.

Benefit Summaries: Send concise summaries of each benefit available, highlighting key points such as coverage details and how to enroll.

Regular Reminders: Schedule regular text reminders about important benefit deadlines, such as open enrollment periods and wellness program sign-ups.

Build Long-Term Behavior Changes

For frontline workers, the risk of injury or illness is higher due to their work environment. By using Yourco, HR managers can effectively distribute safety protocols and health tips to these employees, leading to a safer and healthier workforce.

Benefits Success Story Sharing

Share a story about an employee who started a healthy diet meal plan and experienced improved well-being and reduced mental sluggishness. This story could be featured on the company’s website and communicated via Yourco—highlighting good meal plans that can help sustain labor-intensive work and the importance of staying healthy. Such success stories recognize your employees while highlighting the company’s benefits, helping boost employee connection and engagement and creating a positive workplace culture.
