BENEFITS TECHNOLOGY 5 Ways to Overcome Your Employees’ Resistance to New Benefits Technologies in 2020 Some employees are more resistant to using new benefits technology than others. Here are five ways to calm their fears and boost engagement company-wide: 1. Be Transparent Some employees will automatically resent any new technology, but it's not necessarily going to be your oldest or most-tenured employees. So don't make blanket assumptions. To overcome knee-jerk resistance, be upfront about why you’re bringing in a new tool. Explain to your employees the results you want to achieve, what options you considered, and why you decided this tool was the best option. If there are elements of the user experience that might feel like a bit of hassle, mention that—without lingering on it. Be clear, concise, and open. Transparency builds trust. If your employees trust your intentions, they’ll be more willing to play ball. Read the full article here>>
