• The
materials
were
a
big
hit
this
year,
we
had
several
comments
from
proper4es
that
the
benefits
in
a
box
were
helpful
to
get
them
started.
• Videos:
Again,
good
comments
that
the
videos
were
available
direct
via
text/smart
phone
without
having
to
find
a
network
computer
(or
access
via
MyMVWHR
with
a
password).
Videos
were
straight
forward,
to
the
point
and
called
associates
to
ac4on
to
enroll
(or
make
benefits
decisions).
• Website
was
well
organized.
• Checklists
for
managers
and
associates
were
a
big
win.
