Jellyvision Benefits Counselor Declares Open Season on Open Enrollment Angst
Creators of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK offer wildly engaging interactive tool that makes open enrollment education simple, fun and fast.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25 -- Jellyvision Lab is reminding HR people everywhere not to panic about open enrollment this fall - even though a recent Colonial Life study showed that fewer than 20 percent of all employees understand their benefits. And feel free to not worry when the Society of Human Resources Management tells you that benefits are the number two deciding factor in employee satisfaction and retention. Stay calm - because there's still time to let Jellyvision Benefits Counselor save the day.
Benefits Counselor, an interactive online multimedia experience, will eliminate the confusion, anxiety and drudgery employees feel when learning about their benefits. The application features a virtual host, David, who guides employees through their available benefits, asks questions along the way, and offers individualized benefit plan recommendations to each participant based on their answers. The information gleaned during the interview with David is analyzed in real-time against specific plan details, to provide a recommendation best suited to each individual.
The conversation with David relies on The Jellyvision Lab's proven design techniques in developing compelling interactive media. Not to mention its exhaustive research in the healthcare field, which turned up some shocking results: employees prefer understanding their benefits to being confused by them, enjoy fun interactive experiences more than reams of insurance documentation, and would rather spend several minutes selecting benefits than several hours.
"I mean, given a choice between learning about insurance or doing - well - practically anything else, most people will choose anything else," said Harry Gottlieb, Founder & CEO of the Jellyvision Lab, and the creator of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK. "But when you need it, insurance is REALLY important. We want to help every employee in America understand what their employer is providing them, make smart decisions for themselves and their families...and have a good time while they're doing it."
Comcast was an early adopter of Jellyvision Benefits Counselor. Benefits Project Specialist Melissa Dulin summarized the results she achieved at Comcast: "Because of the Jellyvision Benefits Counselor, Comcast was not only able to achieve our goal of providing a valuable support tool to our employees, but we were also able to increase FSA participation by 30 percent. Employees actually liked using the Jellyvision Benefits Counselor, calling it everything from helpful to downright funny."
When asked "Any more feedback?" 24% of employees who filled-in-the-blank with a response used the word "love" or "great" or "awesome" to describe their experience. When was the last time you fell head over heels for anything insurance related?
There's still time to get the Jellyvision Benefits Counselor up and running for your organization's open enrollment. For more information or to view a demo please visit http://www.jellyvisionbenefitscounselor.com/
