Artificial Intelligence (AI) is providing new ways to support employees' benefit enrollment decisions by helping them target plans that are most relevant to their needs.

As we embark on a new decade, employers are placing a greater emphasis on employee well-being by offering broader benefit packages that appeal to a more diverse workplace population. They are doing this through the increasing use of technology and data to support decision-making and facilitate effective use of allowable limits.

In the highly competitive employment market we find ourselves in, decision-making and simplicity has become the linchpin, as employees leverage work to gain more fulfillment, pursue their goals, and align their values and experiences more authentically. They also are looking to employers to help manage their newly redefined work-life balance and help them decide which benefit offerings can best accomplish this. Employers, on the other hand, are looking for ways to meet employees' new and evolving benefit needs and obtain the most value for their benefit spending.
