Important:

Active Enrollment Required

This year, Open Enrollment is mandatory. That means every employee must log in to Workday and select their benefits for 2026. If you do not complete enrollment in Workday, you will not be enrolled in benefits in the upcoming year (with the exception of employer-paid benefits). If you are enrolled in health coverage elsewhere and do not plan to enroll in any benefit offerings with AV, employees are still required to complete the enrollment process in Workday to designate beneficiaries for your company-provided life insurance.

Check Your Workday Access: Log in to Workday ahead of time to confirm you have access. You will receive Open Enrollment tasks and alerts via Workday. If you encounter issues, contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) immediately.

For instructions on updating your Personal Information in WorkDay, see this job aid.

Legacy BlueHalo and VideoRay employees will need to use AV’s Okta Verify for access. This job aid will guide you through setup if you have yet to migrate over to Okta.

What You Can Do During Open Enrollment:

  • Change your medical, dental, or vision plan options
  • Add or remove dependents
  • Enroll or update other voluntary benefit plans

Changes made during Open Enrollment will take effect on January 1, 2026, and will remain in place through December 31, 2026, unless you experience a qualified life event (as defined by the IRS) during the year.

Please ensure that your contact information is up to date in Workday. The address listed in Workday will be used to send your insurance cards and any benefits-related mail. You can view and edit your current address using this link: Addresses - Workday
