How To Navigate Open Enrollment Benefit Choices

Employers cringe this time of year because it can be confusing to comprehend the unfamiliar concepts of benefit offerings and then identify which benefits are a suitable match for their employees.

Open enrollment is an opportunity for employers to adjust the benefit options they previously offered their employees or elect new plans. This period for most companies falls in November, to which all forms must be returned and processed for the new benefit plans to take over on January 1 of the new year.

It takes weeks or even months for HR professionals to investigate and negotiate with various insurance carriers to align the right fit for their organization.

This is what HR professionals are for, so don’t fret! Flex HR is your dedicated Human Resources backbone for all things HR. We’re an HR outsourcing and consulting firm that delivers all the HR support you need – including help with those confusing and complicated benefits.

Flex HR Is Your Benefits Solution Management Provider

Consider Flex HR as your benefits solution and management provider. We manage the complex benefits and insurance process for you. We work with your broker to deliver the census data for the broker to analyze market comparison costs, all the while the current vendor provides renewal information.

Founder & CHRO of Flex HR, Jim Cichanski, explains “we act as the client’s HR department, working with the broker to achieve the best plans possible for the cost the company is willing to pay.”  Employees may be offered quality health, vision, dental, disability, and even pet insurance plans that are consistent with the company’s culture. “We do what it takes to offer employers and their employees the best plans achievable. Sometimes that takes getting creative by adding higher deductibles and a GAP plan to strategically project for the future years of not seeing large increases,” Jim outlines. We work with all industries and companies of all sizes.

After the benefit and insurance selections are made, our Flex HR team communicates and conducts the open enrollment process for you. It’s imperative to personalize these messages to employees, so they understand the guidance they are receiving in choosing their perfect plan.

Our dedicated and dependable experts reduce your leadership roles from consuming the burden of completing these tasks. We seamlessly systematize your company’s benefits to increase effective record keeping and ensure all reconciliations are up to date, protecting critical employee files. Our support keeps your organization in compliance with employment laws.

Contact Flex HR today for your benefits enrollment needs.

Hanetball360 TM – Revolutionary New Team Sport – to Host First Official League Games

Hanetball360 TM – Revolutionary New Team Sport – 

 Davie, FL (March 23, 2022) – Hanetball360 TM, will host its first official HBA360 league games on Saturday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. with two matches taking place. The women’s teams open the night with the Lake Worth Charmers facing the Palm Beach Dazzles followed by the Palm Beach Avar vs. Ft. Lauderdale Gurus in the men’s division.  The contests will be played at The Rick Case Arena on the campus of Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Fla.

Hanetball360TM was created by Fritz Valdeus, Jr., the CEO of the Boca Raton (Fla.) headquartered DMIL360 Inc. The sport is played by two teams of seven players each on a Hanetball360 TM regulation rink which measures 157’ 2” long and 70’ wide.  The object of the game is to score points by “grounding” the Hanetball TM inside the opponents Grundnet TM.  The Grundnet TM is a 360-degree goal that is guarded by an Aimmeeter™(goalie). The games consist of four 13-minute rounds.  More details on how the games are played can be seen on the Hanetball360TM YouTube Channel video – https://youtu.be/tZLIFNDjjSU

This sport and HBA360 league, which was developed by and is fully managed by minorities, has been played competitively in Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. The league is planning to have six teams based in the United States and will have additional teams located in Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

“The goal of Hanetball360TM is multifaceted, but one of the primary purposes, is to make a positive change in the world by promoting a revolutionary new way of thinking, called QuantumThinking360TM, said Valdeus, Jr.  “This new paradigm changes everything because Hanetball360TM is the first organized team sport to score and defend on a 360-degree field of play.”

 

The second set of league games is scheduled to be played on April 16 at The Rick Case Arena.
