Here are some tips to take the best out of Kota and ensure your staff is delighted with their benefits package and adheres to it:
1) Plans are for your people
Before creating your benefits package and explaining Kota to your people, think about the demographic and their needs. Is maternity cover something people are looking for? Is it dental care? Would a sports add-on be popular? Make sure you know that these plans are right for your people.
2) Educate and excite your people
Employees will want to know how Kota benefits them in their day-to-day lives. How can you make sure they know what benefits they're receiving?
Explain the product to them before they receive their benefits. Whether it's on your weekly Townhall call, or over email, explain to your staff the value of healthcare and pension, and how easy it is to sign up. It might not be the most glamorous of topics, but it is surely important.
Explain the pricing. If you contribute to your employees' healthcare plan, let them know the discount that they'll be receiving due to the employer contribution - everyone loves good value!
3) Check in with your people
In the web app, on your employer home dashboard, you'll be able to see how many people are 'active employees' - that being the employees who received their invite to Kota, downloaded the mobile app, signed up and enrolled in a plan. Any employees who have been invited but have not yet enrolled in a plan, are not considered 'active'.
You can verify which staff members have not enrolled yet by checking their status on the People page:
We strongly recommend you check in with your employees who haven't enrolled yet. Sometimes, during busy periods, emails get lost, and important things get deprioritised. One quick check-in could be all that they need to unleash all the advantages of the benefits you're offering.
