Amazon's KSBD Air Hub in San Bernardino recently announced the winners of its Benefits Fair raffle on Instagram. The post provided instructions for prize pickup at the PxT desk and reminded employees to complete their benefits enrollment before the October 22 deadline.
According to the Instagram update, Amazon’s KSBD Air Hub used a raffle to increase participation in its onsite Benefits Fair. Winners were directed to collect their prizes at the PxT desk during their next shift. The post also served as a reminder that open enrollment is ongoing, with a firm cutoff date of October 22 for employees to review options and make elections. Such site-level posts are designed to quickly reach shift-based workforces and reinforce key human resources deadlines alongside recognition moments.
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reports that open enrollment decisions are often rushed, with about 67% of benefits-eligible employees spending 30 minutes or less reviewing options, and 42% spending 20 minutes or less. These behaviors risk missed Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) optimizations. Nationally, access and participation vary; according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of March 2025, private-industry medical care access stands at 72% with a 63% take-up rate. Clear reminders like posted deadlines can significantly increase participation and improve the quality of choices made by employees.
