WELCOME TO BENTLEY'S 2027 OPEN ENROLLMENT
BENEFITS PROGRAM!
Bentley University remains committed to helping you and your family achieve the best possible health and wellbeing. We are pleased to offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package that provides you with the flexibility to make the choices that best meet the needs of you and your family.
Open Enrollment begins on November 2nd, 2026 and runs through November 13th, 2026. Open Enrollment is your once-a-year chance to make changes to your benefits, absent a qualifying event. A qualifying life event is a change in your personal or family situation that allows you to update your benefits outside of Open Enrollment. Examples include marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, or a change in coverage eligibility.
In our benefits guide linked below, you can learn about your benefits—along with helpful tools you can use to make informed decisions. We encourage you to carefully review this information. Once you’re ready to make your benefit elections, be sure to log in to Workday. Your open enrollment elections will be effective January 1st, 2027.
Thank you all for another successful benefits fair! We hope learned something new, and that you feel better informed to make your 2027 benefit elections. If you have a moment, please fill out our survey here. See you next year!
