Do employees feel confident about open enrollment and electing their benefits?
Choosing the right benefits can be time-consuming and confusing, but it's one of the most important financial decisions your team will make all year.
Recent research reveals that one in five Gen Z and millennial employees say they feel insecure when it comes to making decisions during open enrollment, and one in four say they felt stressed the last time they signed up for benefits.
Here are 17 tweets that capture all those employee emotions of open enrollment:

Open Enrollment started today. Just texted my mama and asked her to pick my benefits for me bc I have no idea what I’m doing. I know the quadratic equation by heart though 🙄

I’m proud to announce that it only took six email reminders from HR for me to elect my benefits this year. I’d like to thank God, myself and those who doubted me (mom)

I have to choose my benefits at work and I was not ready for it. So much research needs to be done in order to choose the right healthcare and dental plan

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Except change your benefits election if it's not the open enrollment period
I called bluecross to ask questions about my benefits and at the end she said “thanks for calling,” and I said “you too” 😫 #someonerunmeover
