Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment

Our 2026 Benefits Open Enrollment is from Monday, October 27, 2025, to Friday, November 14, 2025, 11:59 pm ET. During this period, you can newly enroll or make changes to your Publicis benefits. After November 14, your only opportunity to make changes to your benefits coverage is within 31 days of experiencing a qualified life event or during the next Benefits Open Enrollment period.

  • Three Easy Steps to Plan for 2026 Benefits Enrollment

    1. Now is a great time to review your benefits and make sure they still fit your needs. Think about any changes in your life or your family's plans for the coming year. We offer a variety of benefits and programs to help you choose the coverage and support that work best for you, at a cost that fits your budget.

    Did you know a 65-year-old couple retiring this year spends an average of $315,000 in medical expenses throughout retirement? If you are generally healthy and don't go to the doctor often, the HSA Medical Plan may be right for you. You pay the lowest coverage premiums out of your paycheck, and you get to open a Health Savings Account, which is like another 401(k) account but for medical costs. Plus, Publicis Groupe helps you build your savings: $250 for single coverage and $500 for family coverage.

    Don't overlook voluntary benefits. We partner with insurance companies to provide discounted prices for pet, car, home, accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity insurance, and more. Take this opportunity to review your beneficiaries while enrolling. Naming beneficiaries ensures your money will go where you want it to.

    2. Prepare to enroll in benefits that don't automatically carry over into 2026. Open Enrollment is passive, so most of your 2025 benefit elections carry over into 2026 automatically. You must actively enroll in these accounts each year to use them:

    • Health Savings Account (HSA)

    • Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA)

    • Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA)

    • Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA)

    3. Enroll in 2026 Publicis Benefits. You will receive notification on October 27 when you can log into our benefits enrollment portal to begin enrollment. If you do not enroll, you will have the same or similar coverage as today, but at 2026 costs. Your only other opportunity to make changes to your benefits coverage is within 31 days of experiencing a qualified life event.
