Virtual Open enrollment
Helping your remote employees
The abrupt shift toward working from home prompted by COVID-19 safety measures will have a lasting impact on open enrollment. Traditional methods like on-site benefit fairs, posters, in-person meetings, and even word of mouth have been eliminated as options for many organizations. Access to generic educational content alone will not be enough to ensure widespread and informed participation. A new set of best practices around proactive, personalized remote and digital engagement is emerging, and Tango Health can help you implement them.
A successful virtual open enrollment program should include the following elements:
Personalized decision support and educational tools
On-demand access to HR expertise
A quality virtual benefits fair
Proactive targeted communications

How it works
The Tango Virtual Benefits Open Enrollment Program delivers a best-in-class benefits experience with capabilities around each of these critical elements.
Personalized Decision Support and Educational Tools
Tango Decision Assist™
Tango’s decision support tool quickly provides a personalized recommendation using claims data (“people like me” or an employee’s own records) so employees can make the best health plan decision for their needs. Employees receive an accurate recommendation in as little as three minutes. For those that want to dig into the details, they can see the transparent math behind a recommendation and easily run multiple spending scenarios. With Tango Pre-Check, a plan recommendation is made right from the start based on prior healthcare spending.
Tango Benefits Center™
Provide access to a wide array of benefits-related how-to videos and multimedia resources on common topics, or include your own materials.
Tango Virtual OE Hub™
This is a one-stop for all your virtual open enrollment activities such as a welcome video from senior leadership, links to register for the Virtual Benefits Fair, intelligent chatbot, and a calendar to schedule time with an HR expert.
On-Demand Access to HR Expertise
Tango Chatbot
Tango’s Intelligent Chatbot streamlines and simplifies getting questions answered, improves experiences, reduces calls to HR personnel, and ensures that employees are connected with the right people when needed. Tango Chatbots:
- use custom rule sets and content to ensure a successful efficient experience.
- maintain HR’s compassionate tone.
- transition to either your designated benefits professionals or a Tango Benefit Agent.
HR Calendaring for Video Meetings
Face-to-face meetings are still important even when dropping by the office is not an option. We can help you implement a scheduling tool to make it easy for employees to book a 1:1 video meeting with a benefits expert. Video 1:1 with an HR expert accessibility is essential.
Tango Benefit Agents
During open enrollment, benefits professionals can be overwhelmed managing all the moving parts and answering individual questions, even under the best of circumstances. With everyone working from home and operating within a new process, the challenges now can be much greater. Tango Benefit Agents can help carry the load by fielding calls and fulfilling video meeting requests. Tango Benefit Agents:
- are experts in your specific populations and benefit offerings.
- can be immediately accessible via call or video meeting.
- live in the U.S. and are HIPAA certified.
- know who to contact when specialized circumstances requiring in-house HR arise.
Virtual Benefits Fair
Your vendors are as eager as ever to help educate and promote your benefits. Tango enables this by planning and hosting a Virtual Benefits Fair including their representatives. Your virtual benefits fair can be an enjoyable and informative remote event. With our program you can:
- get the word out via multi-channel communications and the distribution of invitations or gifts promoting the event.
- track attendance.
- present an intuitive menu with access to different on-demand or scheduled to begin options.
- host content for on-demand video and multimedia resources provided by you, your vendors or Tango.
- hold live “breakout” webinars including Q&A.
- manage 1:1 video connections to vendor, HR or Tango experts.
Proactive Targeted Communications
Tango offers content tailored to your employee segments based on our historical claims analysis. This allows the most relevant benefits and programs to be featured for different groups on the Benefits Center.
The Tango Virtual Benefits Open Enrollment Program gives you a complete solution to successfully engage your employees with understanding and selecting their benefits during open enrollment.
