Annual Benefits Enrollment: October 7-18

Annual Benefits Enrollment for benefits-eligible faculty and staff will take place Monday, Oct. 7 through Friday, Oct. 18, 2024. Beginning Monday, you will need to enroll via Workday if you are changing benefit elections, adding or removing a dependent(s), and/or planning to participate in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). FSA elections do not automatically renew from one year to the next, and require active enrollment from you each year.

Elect your 2025 benefits by accessing your Workday inbox, clicking the Open Enrollment Change task, and following the instructions on the screen.

There are a variety of resources available to help you understand your benefits and navigate the enrollment process: 

• Benefits Forum: Join us on Friday, Oct. 4, from Noon to 1 p.m. for an overview of benefits changes for the 2025 plan year and a conversation on the state of health care at Wake Forest and nationally.
• Benefits Fair: Our annual Benefits Fair returns Tuesday, Oct. 8, from Noon to 4 p.m. in Sutton Center, 4th Floor Gym. Colleagues are invited to attend the fair to learn more about our benefits offerings, speak with benefit vendors, and enjoy some free gelato while it lasts!
