"Everyone's living in a faster paced world where things are more complicated and constantly changing, including employee benefits. To get the most out of workplace benefits programs, there are many factors that come into play. For example, there are external factors such as economic and regulatory changes. Then there are corporate objectives an employer wants to achieve with respect to its workforce. Finally, there are individual needs and goals that vary for every employee," said Elena Wu, Group Worksite & Marketing Officer, Guardian. "Making the right decisions is critical, but this can be difficult if you don't have the information and tools you need. Our online resource center www.aboutemployeebenefits.com simplifies what's happening in employee benefits so that people -- whether they're a broker, an employer offering employee benefits or an employee enrolling in them -- can access what they need to make the right benefits decisions without becoming overwhelmed. It was designed to make it easy to apply timely trends to specific situations."
