Prepare for OE: One in Three Employees Regret Their Benefits Choices
Here’s How to Change That: Join Jasper Purvis, VP of Partnerships, on July 23rd at 11:00 a.m. Central for a data-backed discussion on how organizations can improve employee benefits decision-making and reduce enrollment regret ahead of Open Enrollment.
Prepare for OE
As organizations finalize plan changes, align with carriers and vendors, and simplify employee communications, one question remains: Will employees make better benefits decisions this year? The answer may depend less on the plans themselves and more on the guidance employees receive.
In this session, we’ll explore findings from the 2026 Selerix Employee Benefits Survey, which asked 622 employees a simple but revealing question: How is benefits enrollment actually working for you? The survey results reveal a significant guidance gap during benefits enrollment. While 35% of employees regret their most recent benefits decisions, nearly half report feeling confident managing their benefits on their own—yet only 23% actually understand the coverage they have selected. Perhaps most surprising, employees who spent more than two hours making benefits decisions experienced regret rates nearly three times higher than those who spent fewer than ten minutes, suggesting that more time alone doesn’t lead to better outcomes. Instead, employees need clearer, more effective guidance to make confident decisions.
