Lessons From 2025 Open Enrollment: Trends Shaping Your 2026 Benefits Strategy

January 13, 2026 | 11 AM Pacific

Open Enrollment often gets checked off and left in the past, but it’s one of the most critical measures of how well your benefits strategy, communication, and broker partnership are working.

Most employers never receive a meaningful post-mortem on their Open Enrollment performance. That means HR teams lose out on critical insights they could be using now to shape a stronger, more cost-effective plan for 2026.

Join Vita’s benefits strategy experts for an actionable, data-driven session focused on assessing your 2025 Open Enrollment results and translating them into a clear action plan for 2026.
