The high volume of questions HR pros get around annual enrollment is to be expected. After all, benefits literacy — the ability to understand and use one’s benefits to make good decisions — has always been low in America.  

According to data collected through the Benefitsolver MyChoice decision support tool, 38 percent of adult employees under 29 years old claim to have “no benefits knowledge.” Even among those who are 60 years of age, as many as 21 percent claim to have “no benefits knowledge,” despite several decades of exposure to the topic.  

But low grades are often the fault of the teacher, not the student. What do we, as HR professionals, have to learn here? Are we using the wrong textbook? Are we just not dedicating enough time to this? 

Watch our on-demand webinar, “Get Personal: Better benefits messaging for your multigenerational workforce." You’ll hear from nationally recognized benefits communication specialists and learn: 

• Why benefits literacy is an important part of the ROI for your benefits spend
