Description: This email should be sent mid-way through the open enrollment period. The goal is to provide additional support to employees who might be experiencing challenges or have questions regarding the open enrollment process. The email reminds employees that help is available and offers them contact information for HR representatives via a dedicated Slack channel.

[FIRST NAME],

You have until [DATE] to complete your benefits selections — and if anything is slowing you down, now's the time to get it sorted.

Here's how to get help:

[Slack/Teams]: Drop your question in [#CHANNEL NAME]. The HR team monitors it daily and typically responds within [X hours]. It's also a good place to see questions other employees have already asked.

Email: Prefer to write it out? Reach us at [HR EMAIL]. We'll get back to you within [X business days].

1:1: If you'd rather talk it through, [book a time here / reach out to schedule] — especially useful if you're deciding between plans and want a human opinion.

Not sure what to ask? Here are the most common questions we're getting right now:

  • "Which plan makes sense for someone in my situation?"
  • "How do I add a dependent?"
  • "What happens if I don't make a selection by [DATE]?"

Whatever's holding you up — ask. It's a lot easier to answer a question now than to fix a benefits situation in January.

[FIRST NAME, LAST NAME]
[TITLE] | [COMPANY]

TL;DR Version: 

Questions about open enrollment for 2027 benefits? Slack us at [#CHANNEL], email [HR EMAIL], or book a quick 1:1. Deadline is [DATE] — don't wait until the last day to get unstuck.

Plain-Text Version: 

Open enrollment closes [DATE]. If you have questions or are running into issues making your benefits selection, here's how to reach us:

Slack: [#CHANNEL NAME]
Email: [HR EMAIL]
1:1: [BOOKING LINK / CONTACT TO SCHEDULE]

We're monitoring all three. The sooner you ask, the more time you have to make the right call.
