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:
