In today’s environment, it’s more important than ever to increase employees’ engagement with their benefits. To succeed, some companies simplify plan designs. Others simplify how they communicate about the plans. Republic Services did both: They streamlined nearly all benefits plan offerings in 2026, reducing complexity and enabling the HR team to communicate options more clearly and efficiently to their workforce. The result? Enhanced employee engagement.
In this session, you’ll learn how, by improving access to benefits information, Republic Services successfully reached hard-to-engage employee groups who couldn’t be reached through traditional communication methods, resulting in greater understanding, participation, and satisfaction with their benefits programs.
