NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Open enrollment is upon us and, with it, the culmination of many months of work optimizing employee benefits offerings for employees.
In just a few weeks, though, we’ll be turning our attention toward what’s next. For the second year in a row, HR Dive journalists will speak with benefits and total rewards experts in a live virtual event, where we’ll discuss how employers should strategize to take advantage of the latest benefits trends moving forward.
We hope to see you on Wednesday, Oct. 8. You can register for the event here: The HR Dive 2026 open enrollment and total rewards playbook.
As always, thanks for reading!
