What are Virtual Benefits Fairs?

A virtual benefits fair, or employee benefits fair, is a virtual event designed to help employers communicate and explain the benefits provided to their employees at scale through an interactive online environment, rather than a physical one.

Only 40% of employers help employees understand and maximize their work benefits. Virtual benefits fairs make providing this information to employees more affordable and scalable by removing the physical and time-based barriers associated with in-person training. This results in more informed employees who benefit from the entire scope of their compensation package rather than just their salaries. 

Using interactive features, such as live webinars, webcast streams, live chat, virtual booths and more, online benefits fairs create more awareness and empower employees to make more informed decisions.

Why Choose Virtual Benefits Fairs with WorkCast?

    • Minimize fixed costs, like venue and equipment hire, catering and more
    • Increase employee awareness - only 40% of employees are aware of the benefits available to them

Virtual Benefits Fairs FAQs

What is a virtual benefits fair and how does it work?

A virtual benefits fair is a virtual event designed to help employers communicate and explain the benefits provided to their employees at scale through an interactive online environment, rather than a physical one.

Only 40% of employers help employees understand and maximize their work benefits. Virtual benefits fairs make providing this information to employees more affordable and scalable by removing the physical and time-based barriers associated with in-person training. This results in more informed employees who benefit from the entire scope of their compensation package rather than just their salaries. 

Employees can attend online benefits fairs remotely, any time and on any device with access to the internet. Attendees sign up to the virtual event via a registration page, which takes them through to the event auditorium where they can attend the event.

Virtual benefits fairs often include virtual booths where attendees can speak to employers, sponsors and benefits providers, attend webinar presentations, webcasts and more. Attendees can interact with benefits providers using features, such as live chat, Q&A, discussions, polls and more. However, most virtual benefits fairs are bespoke, so the amount of features and sessions run within them varies from event to event.

How do I host a virtual benefits fair?

Virtual benefits fairs have been growing in popularity in recent years, as businesses are transitioning their traditional benefits fairs and in-person training online to extend their reach, reduce costs and improve employee happiness and retention. So, how do you host a virtual benefits fair?

Much like a physical benefits fair, hosting a virtual benefits fair involves a lot of planning and preparation. So, when it comes to running a virtual benefits fair, you can ensure it’s a success by following these simple steps: 

  • Decide on your goals and KPIs for your virtual benefits fair
  • Define your format and interactive content e.g. virtual booths, live webcasts, webinars, Q&A, discussions, live chat and more
  • Choose the best virtual event platform to suit your goals e.g. WorkCast Stratus
  • Select your team i.e. presenters, speakers, guests, panel, moderators, employers etc.
  • Select the best day and time to host your virtual benefits fair
  • Create and customize your virtual booths 
  • Promote your benefits fair with at least 6 weeks lead time via social media, email marketing, landing pages, websites and more
  • Run a test stream (if you’re streaming live) to test your internet and audio levels before going live
  • Follow up with attendees by sending a thank you email and a link to any downloadable assets post-event

What are the benefits of virtual benefits fairs?

If you’re wondering what the pros of hosting a virtual benefits fair versus a physical benefits fair, then the primary advantage would be increased employee awareness and empowerment - as only 40% of employees are aware of the benefits available to them. You will also benefit from improved attendance, as 63% of people are more likely to attend a virtual event than an in-person event.

Hosting the benefits fair virtually rather than physically allows your employees to attend the event at their leisure from wherever they are located, so even remote workers can attend using any device that has access to the internet. Meanwhile, 3 in 5 people report benefits and perks being among their top considerations before accepting a job, so virtual benefits fairs can encourage increased job applications and employee retention. The virtual environment is also conducive to direct interactions between employees and employers, as employees are able to interact with their employers and benefits providers via live chat, Q&A, online polls and more - which is much less intimidating than asking a question in front of their peers. 

What are the different types of virtual events?

Virtual events are becoming increasingly popular, as businesses are transitioning their traditional in-person events online, which is why it’s essential to understand the different types of virtual events.

Each virtual event type includes its own own unique features and provides various business benefits, but these are the main types of online events:

    • Webinars: online seminars that enable presenters to connect with audiences and exchange information
    • Webcasts: a high-quality, polished live video stream of an event or conference
    • Virtual conferences: replicates a traditional conference in an online environment
    • Virtual college open days: replicate traditional physical college or university open houses virtually
    • Virtual open houses: property realtors host virtual open houses by streaming them online for audiences
    • Virtual trade shows: allows exhibitors and visitors to interact online environment, rather than at a physical trade show
    • Virtual careers fairs: allow employers to connect with job seekers in a virtual environment, rather than in-person
    • Virtual benefits fairs: enable employers to communicate the benefits provided to their employees at scale through an interactive online environment
