CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a technology
platform provider enabling rapid innovation for employers, health
plans and consumers, today kicked off "Open Enrollment Success
in the Era of COVID," a six-week, three-phase educational series to
support benefits administrators during the 2020 Open Enrollment
period.
The program provides insight in three phases: the final days and
weeks before Open Enrollment, Open Enrollment itself and the period
immediately following Open Enrollment. Benefitfocus is providing a
range of materials from the extensive library in its Resource
Center, including webinars, blog posts, white papers, templates,
and reference guides. These best practices have been developed
based on the knowledge acquired through serving thousands of
employer Open Enrollment events, and millions of employee user
sessions.
"Open Enrollment is always the key moment in a benefit leader's
year and this year will have special significance, because of the
enormous disruptions caused by the pandemic and changes to our
workforces," said Annmarie Fini,
Executive Vice President, Customer Success Organization,
Benefitfocus. "Benefitfocus has always served as a valued
resource and partner, and we believe this series will help our
benefits leaders succeed in these challenging times."
In the first phase of "Open Enrollment Success in the ERA of
COVID," users of Benefitfocus' Resource Center can access material
focused on final preparations for Open Enrollment:
Preparing for Open Enrollment in the New World of
Work

Open Enrollment Planning: Actions to Set Your Campaign up for
Success
The cyclical nature of open enrollment means benefit professionals
can learn from the last and build on successes. This blog post
outlines the actions you can take to reach your vision for the next
open enrollment.
"Employers and especially benefits administrators cannot afford
to assume that their usual methods and practices will work in
2020," said Guinn. "The tools we'll be sharing over the next few
weeks and the other materials found in our Resource Center will
help employers assist employees in making the right decisions for
themselves and their families."
