A brand-spanking new group benefits plan is a big step in any organizations life. As the Plan Sponsor or Plan Admin responsible for the launch you probably want to shout about it from the rooftop and throw brochures like confetti to your adoring team!
One small catch: when it comes to benefits, paper brochures are only good as confetti. They get lost, out of date, and generally collect dust.
So how are you supposed to share the good news? How about an email to your team with links to articles all about their amazing new plan?
Below is a template you can use. Feel free to customize to your heart's content. The important part is sharing why you're providing benefits. That's what sets you apart. Leave the how nuts and bolts to us and this Help Centre.
