At Empyrean, we believe that employee benefits are the most tangible expression of an organization’s corporate culture. Since 2006, we have provided the technology and services businesses need to accelerate benefits strategies and better demonstrate their commitment to their employees and their families, and today more than 3 million participants access and engage with their benefits through our platform. 

The content we curate for this channel will share critical insights, best practices, and key industry trends impacting the benefits space, including how and why organizations should adjust their benefits strategy, communications, and overall approach to best serve their employee populations. 


According to a recent research study of 400 HR professionals and 500 employees, 47% of employees feel worried, 24% felt very or fairly lonely, and 51% report they’re struggling with feeling connected to their work. In our increasingly digital world, and in the new hybrid workplace era, fostering meaningful connections has become both a challenge and a necessity. The concept of wellbeing is now being widely acknowledged and accepted. But wellbeing is not just about benefits and individual behavior change, it's about meeting people where they are, enabling their success, and fostering connections. With employees bombarded by distractions, how employers maintain those connections is a pressing question. What even constitutes a 'connection' in today's world? Join the Empyrean and Securian teams as we explore all of this in our time together, leaning on research and insights gained from the millions of employees connected to their employers and to their wellbeing by Empyrean.

How to Communicate the Value of a Consumer-Directed Health Plan and Health Savings Account to a Multi-generational Workforce

Sixty-six percent of employers with 1000+ employees offer a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a health savings account (HSA). Yet, most employers don’t know how to effectively communicate the benefits of an HDHP with an HSA to a diverse workforce. The immediate advantages of HSAs are often overlooked, especially by younger populations who don’t fully understand how to evaluate the health plan options provided by their employer. And as the overall cost of living continues to rise, savings continues to become more of a challenge for Americans struggling to make ends meet.  

Join HSA Bank and Empyrean as our experts break down common barriers to HSA engagement and provide practical strategies to communicate the value of HSAs to all populations that make up your workforce. 

Register now to learn key tactics and approaches to: 

- Framing HSA contributions as an immediate and discounted injection of cash to cover healthcare costs. 

- Communicating directly, without jargon, and throughout the year to help your people understand tax savings, employer contributions, rollover benefits, and other HSA advantages that are beneficial in both the short term and in retirement. 

- Creating a personalized benefits experience for each individual employee to help them understand recommended HSA contribution levels that will support their financial wellness today, and not just in the distant future.  

- Understanding the financial constraints that can deter employees from contributing to an HSA, and effective strategies to help your people overcome these hurdles. 

Register today to help your multi-generational workforce leverage HSAs to manage their current healthcare costs of today while building financial stability for tomorrow.

New Data On 1000+ Employers: Hiring Technologies They Plan to Buy This Year

The norm in talent assessment is firefighting; using point-based tests to verify a narrow range of skills and abilities that relate to one position. But the hiring landscape is changing and so are the job roles within it.
             
The most advanced and successful companies have a much more strategic, broader view of the value of talent assessment. This is because when used more strategically, assessment can be the foundation of true transformation, providing robust, objective data about the capability of your workforce. The transformation is greatly accelerated when the data from the entire hiring workflow is integrated into one central platform, allowing you to create engaging and seamless experiences for your candidates and providing you with the insight to hire the best talent.  
             
In this webinar Dr. Charles Handler, President, SOVA, US will share his research and advice for building a streamlined, efficient, and candidate-centric hiring process that transforms your organization’s candidate experience:·
