With many businesses managing dispersed workforces, employees must access HR information and complete HR tasks online. One process that is essential for both HR managers and employees is open enrollment for health insurance. An optimized open enrollment process ensures accurate benefits selections and satisfied employees. APS has added Quick Enrollment functionality to our health benefits administration solution to simplify this process for employers and employees.
In our latest software release, Quick Enrollment provides a streamlined method of setting up benefits plans. HR managers can save valuable time during open enrollment season and provide a better benefits experience for their employees.
Advantages of Using Quick Enrollment for Open Enrollment
Optimized Open Enrollment Experience for Employees
With Quick Enrollment, we’ve created a more streamlined online enrollment process for employees, no matter where they work. The guided interface and clear step-by-step instructions provide a quicker way for employees to compare benefit plan coverages between the current and new plans.
Quick Enrollment empowers employees to keep their coverage the same as the prior-year elections without having to re-enroll during the open enrollment process. This feature can reduce the time an employee spends going through open enrollment by up to 60%.
How Employees Use Quick Enrollment
Quick Enrollment is a step during the open enrollment process. During this step, employees will see side-by-side information related to the cost comparison from the current and new year plans for the same coverage. Employees can then elect to keep the same coverage or review other plans to manage their benefits costs more effectively.

Once employees complete the open enrollment process and HR confirms their plan options, they can access their benefit plan details in the self-service mobile app.
