Benefits is Going Green - Annual Enrollment Moves Online

Emory’s Benefits Department is making the switch from printer and mailed communications to electronic communications. This change will support Emory’s Sustainability Initiatives by reducing printing and paper consumption, as well as reducing overall costs. Over the years, whenever important information needed to be communicated with employees we have heavily relied on print to deliver the messages. Going forward we will be utilizing technology, where it makes sense, to help us communicate with you.

Beginning this July (2009), you will begin receiving benefits information, updates, alerts, reminders, etc. via your email box. Messages will be sent from a central email address – MyBenefits@emory.edu. It is important that you take time to read the email as it will contain essential information regarding your benefits at Emory.

Annual Enrollment for 2010 will be entirely online! Be sure to check your MyBenefits@emory.edu email to learn about:
• Important benefit plan updates and changes
• Annual Enrollment meeting schedule
• Access to the online, interactive 2010 Annual Enrollment Benefits Guide
• And much more!
