Don’t Dread Open Enrollment: How The Payroll Shoppe Can Help

Open enrollment is a challenging period for everyone involved, but it’s especially difficult for employees. 

Recent research from Equitable shows:

  • 53% of Americans end up regretting their plan choices. 
  • 20% forget to make a change by the deadline. 
  • 19% don’t understand their plan options. 
  • The average American spends more time on social media in a single day (two hours) than they do picking out a health plan for the entire year (30-60 minutes).

How do you plan on improving those numbers among your staffers this year?

We have a proven solution: 

Employee Navigator.

Employee Navigator is an all-in-one benefits, human resources, and compliance tool—and we have a direct partnership with them that can simplify open enrollment season.
