Employee Engagement in a Post-Pandemic World: Looking to Employers and Carriers for Benefits Information

Ron Neyer, M.B.A., AIRC, CLU, ChFC 6/9/2021

When looking for information related to their workplace benefits, do employees prefer contacting carriers directly, or working through their employers?

Summary

For general benefits information, employees favor working with a human resources (or other) representative at their workplace. As the complexity of their question or need grows, they increasingly prefer consulting directly with the carrier. With customer inquiries originating on multiple fronts, carriers must ensure a consistent employee experience is delivered.
