October 2025 – Every fall, HR and benefits teams find themselves in the thick of open enrollment season. It’s one of the most important times of the year, but also one of the most demanding. Between updating plans, finalizing rates, meeting with brokers, and communicating changes to employees, it can feel like every day brings another round of questions, clarifications, and urgent requests.
Even the most organized teams can feel stretched thin once enrollment begins. Employees have different levels of understanding, different family situations, and different timing for when they engage. While HR teams aim to provide clear communication and personal support, the reality is that not everyone can receive one-on-one attention during such a condensed period.
That’s where PERKY Benefits comes in. Designed as a personalized decision support system, PERKY helps simplify and scale employee education during open enrollment and beyond. It gives employees the tools to explore their options confidently while giving HR teams back the time they need to focus on the people who require more in-depth help.
Our data shows that most employees spend only a few minutes reviewing their benefits before making selections. They often focus on what’s new or different, rather than taking the time to make a comprehensive review. Many also make these choices alongside a spouse or partner, which means they need resources that are easy to share and understand. Employees want to make smart decisions, but they need tools that fit their reality—clear, simple, and accessible when it’s convenient for them.
PERKY Benefits meets employees where they are. The platform allows them to compare plans side by side, estimate costs, and explore voluntary benefits like dental, vision, or disability coverage. It highlights how tax-advantaged accounts such as HSAs, FSAs, and 401(k)s can make their paychecks go further. It even provides consumer education modules that help employees make smarter healthcare choices all year long, from finding lower-cost prescriptions to understanding telemedicine options.
For HR professionals, this means fewer repetitive questions, fewer last-minute panics, and more confident, informed employees. PERKY works with all major enrollment systems and is continually updated based on market trends and client feedback. It’s customizable to your company’s culture and workforce demographics, ensuring that employees see only the benefits that apply to them.
The results speak for themselves.
Those numbers reflect something simple but powerful: when employees feel supported, HR teams feel the impact too.
This open enrollment season, PERKY can help you create a smoother, more efficient experience for everyone involved. It takes the weight off HR teams by delivering personalized benefits education at scale, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: supporting your people.
