\- Flexible, professional, and easy to work with
Responsibilities
\- Own benefits administration from A to Z
\- Enroll employees in benefits and proactively manage status changes, such as moves between full-time and part-time or returning employees
\- Engage employees and increase participation in the benefits program
\- Build a stronger benefits offering, including perks and a wellness program
\- Make the benefits program transparent so employees understand their options
\- Provide timely, responsive support on benefits questions
