It's important to have a strong communication strategy that not only illustrates a sense of value to employees about their benefits package, but also affords them the ability to make more informed benefit decisions. Marsh McLennan Agency will work with you to develop a strategic communications plan that leverages multiple forms of media and targeted content to capture attention and drive engagement for even the most diverse workforce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your workplace environment has most likely shifted over the years, meaning continuining to deliver holistic workforce benefits while adapting to new business practices and employee expectations in response to the shift has become more important. As remote and hybrid setups continue to be a prevalent workplace style, employees’ access to the benefits available to help them lead healthier lives has become more of an expectation. Without proper internal communication from employers, employees may not know what their benefits program offers.

By providing this information through effective communication methods, employers can ensure their team has what they need to succeed and increase workplace productivity. With proper communication, employees can also better understand their benefits, which helps them see the value in their offered benefits package. When employees know what health benefits are available, it can increase their engagement levels at work and help improve retention rates for the company.

The essential elements of successful communication in the workplace are verbal and non-verbal signals, clarity, personalization, and respect—all of which should be used to communicate employee benefits effectively. Employers should build a communication plan around easy interaction with employees using methods they’re already familiar with. Marsh McLennan Agency makes it easy to accomplish this by offering employers iNGAGED, a mobile communication app available on iOS, Android, and desktop.

With iNGAGED, employees can easily access the latest benefits information and manage enrollment, payroll, telehealth, learning and development, and more. Employers can also send regular updates through an avenue their employees already check often, such as their phone. Having a platform or dashboard that offers employees everything they need eliminates hours of searching on the company website or asking their employer or HR staff for assistance.

With iNGAGED, businesses can:

Increase efficiency
Boost productivity
Improve organization
Empower their workforce
