Save the Date: Open Enrollment Season is Approaching

Our annual Open Enrollment period is just around the corner, kicking off October 24th. This is your opportunity to review and select the benefits that suit your needs for the upcoming year. Get ready to make informed choices for your benefits!

Important: This upcoming benefits enrollment will be an active process, and it is imperative for all employees to either make your benefits selections or opt for a waiver. The choices made in the previous year's enrollment will not be automatically carried over.

Stay tuned for essential information, helpful resources and interactive webinars to guide you through the process. We're committed to ensuring you have the tools and knowledge to make the best decisions for your health, wellness and finances!

Coming Soon - 2023 MyEDF Survey

Why Employee Engagement is Important:
Fostering employee engagement is good for employees and the business! Studies show that employees who are highly engaged are motivated, driven by a larger purpose, and feel connected to their peers. This leads to higher job satisfaction and better business results such as profitability and employee retention.

How We Measure It – the Annual MyEDF Survey:
One way we track employee engagement is through the MyEDF Survey, which takes place every November. We’re happy to share that last year our engagement index went up by three points to 86%, which is well above the industry benchmark of 74%.

Be on the lookout for the 2023 MyEDF Survey, which will launch on November 1st and run through December 1st.
