Open enrollment season brings a familiar headache.

You send out benefits information to hundreds of employees, but have no idea who actually looked at it.

The deadline approaches, and you're left making frantic follow-up calls to anyone who hasn't enrolled.

Let's fix that with trackable short links.

Stop Wondering Who Actually Clicked Your Benefits Portal Link

The biggest frustration with traditional benefits communication?

You're flying blind.

Dialog Health's Short Links change that completely with person-level tracking.

You see exactly which employees clicked your benefits portal link and which ones need a nudge.

No more guessing games.

The real-time reporting shows you engagement data immediately, not days later when it's too late to course-correct.

Think about what this means for your workload.

Instead of calling everyone to confirm they've seen the enrollment information, you focus only on those who haven't engaged.

That targeted follow-up saves hours of unnecessary calls.

Turn Those Mile-Long URLs Into Trust Signals Employees Actually Click

Nobody trusts a link that looks like random gibberish.

You know the type – those endless strings of characters that scream "don't click me."

Custom slugs let you create links employees recognize instantly.

Compare dhlink.co/Benefits to a typical portal URL with 47 random characters.

Which one would you click?

The branded short links build trust because they look professional and intentional.

When employees see a clean, clearly named link, they're more likely to engage.

Your customizable URLs can match exactly what you're promoting.

Use dhlink.co/register for initial sign-ups.

Create dhlink.co/FAQs for common questions.

The recognition factor alone drives higher engagement.

Know Within Minutes If Your Deadline Reminder Actually Worked

Waiting until after the enrollment deadline to check engagement rates?

That's like checking the weather after the picnic.

Dialog Health's real-time analytics dashboard shows you total clicks the moment employees start engaging.

The interactive reports auto-generate as soon as your SMS campaign goes out.

You don't wait for end-of-day summaries or weekly reports.

You see engagement patterns developing in real-time.

This immediacy lets you pivot your messaging strategy while there's still time.

Notice low engagement on Monday's reminder?

Send a different angle on Tuesday.

The dashboard gives you the agility to adjust before it's too late.

Finally Track Which Benefits Resources Employees Care About Most

Not all benefits information carries equal weight.

Some employees want detailed plan comparisons.

Others just need to know the enrollment deadline.

Separate trackable links for each resource type reveal what actually matters to your workforce.

Send one link for the benefits overview, another for FAQs, and a third for the employee portal.

The Link Library feature lets you create and organize all these tracked links in one place.

Your analytics then show which specific resources drive the most engagement.

Maybe your video tutorials get three times more clicks than PDF guides.

That insight shapes next year's communication strategy.

You invest in what works, not what you assume works.

Send One Text That Handles English, Spanish, and Every Language in Between

Your workforce speaks different languages, but your benefits deadline remains the same for everyone.

The platform supports texting in multiple languages with employee language preference settings.

Each employee receives messages in their preferred language automatically.

Links can direct to language-specific resources based on those preferences.

One Spanish-speaking client saw enrollment jump after implementing Spanish-language reminder texts.

The message read clearly in Spanish, with links leading directly to translated benefits materials.

No confusion, no barriers.

Just clear communication that respects linguistic diversity.

Replace Those Dreaded Follow-Up Calls With Smart Retargeting

Here's a number that should get your attention: 87% decrease in follow-up phone calls.

That's what Dialog Health clients report after implementing smart text retargeting.

Automated text campaigns target only employees who haven't completed enrollment.

You're not bothering people who already signed up.

You're not manually tracking who needs reminders.

The system handles the heavy lifting.

Deadline reminders go exclusively to those who haven't clicked enrollment links or completed their tasks.

This precision targeting means your team spends less time on repetitive calls and more time on strategic work.

Make After-Hours Enrollment as Easy as Clicking From the Couch

Most employees don't think about benefits during work hours.

They think about it at home, after dinner, when the kids are in bed.

The cloud-based platform requires no app download.

Any mobile device works instantly.

Remember, 95% of text messages are read within 3 minutes of being sent.

Your evening reminder text gets immediate attention.

The mobile-optimized links work perfectly on phones, eliminating the "I'll do it when I get to a computer" excuse.

Employees can review plans, compare options, and complete enrollment from their couch.

No laptop required.

No logging into complex systems.

Just click and enroll.
