New Hires
Welcome ... We're excited that you're part of our team
As you bring your talents and contributions to Mondelēz International (MDLZ), your health and welfare coverages and retirement benefits are designed to:
- Strengthen your overall health and financial well-being.
- Support three well-being pillars at MDLZ—Mind, Body, and Connection—so you can be The Right You.
- Be cost-effective for you and sustainable for the Company.
- Empower you to choose coverages and make retirement savings-related decisions that are best for you and your family.
You have 30 days to enroll
Make your health and welfare coverage elections within 30 days of your eligibility date (your eligibility date is your hire date). If you don’t enroll by the deadline, you won’t have medical, dental, vision, a Health Savings Account (HSA), Health Care Flexible Spending Account (Health Care FSA), Dependent Day Care FSA, or other voluntary coverages for the current year (unless you experience a qualified life event).
Make your 401(k) Savings Plan elections within 30 days of your eligibility date. By doing so, your elective contributions, Company basic contributions, and Company matching contributions begin approximately the first pay cycle 30 days after your eligibility date.

Decide what's best for you
Key questions to help you decide what will best support your well-being—The Right You:
- What are the best coverages for my situation?
- Does it make more sense to enroll in medical, dental, and/or vision coverage through my spouse’s/domestic partner’s employer (instead of through mine)?
- Could I or a family member benefit from one of the additional Specialty Medical Solutions—Vida Health for weight loss management, diabetes, and hypertension support; Progyny for fertility services; and/or Hinge Health for joint pain care and treatments—available through the medical coverage options?
- Who in my family do I need to cover?
- Do I want to save on eligible expenses by using a tax-savings account―HSA, Health Care FSA, or Dependent Day Care FSA?
- Could I make use of Critical Illness Insurance or any of the other additional voluntary coverages available (such as services through the Group Legal Services Plan, and/or Pet Insurance)?
- How can I better prepare for and support my financial well-being for retirement by using the 401(k) Savings Plan to the fullest?
Need help deciding what will best support
The Right You ...
Use the online tools and resources available for your health and welfare coverages on MyBenefits Online, and then use MyBenefits Online to enroll.
To make your 401(k) Savings Plan elections and to use the variety of Fidelity tools and resources, access the NetBenefits website. This is also where you’ll further manage your HSA, FSAs, and/or Commuter Benefit Program account.
Key points to remember
- Be prepared if enrolling dependents. Have Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, and proof of eligibility ready (see eligibility rules).
- Designate your beneficiaries (as applicable) through:
- MyBenefits Online for Basic Life, Optional Life, Basic Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment (VADD), and Business Travel Accident (BTA) Insurance; and
- The NetBenefits website for the HSA and 401(k) Savings Plan.
Note: If you’re married, your spouse is automatically your 401(k) Savings Plan beneficiary (unless you elect otherwise).
- Decide, if applicable, how much to contribute to an HSA or FSA. Even though you make HSA and/or FSA contribution elections on MyBenefits Online, Fidelity services these tax-savings accounts. Once your account is established via MyBenefits Online, you receive additional information directly from Fidelity (including how to activate your account on the NetBenefits website, request additional debit cards, invest your HSA contributions, and name beneficiaries for your HSA).
- Understand enrollment, including what happens if you don’t make your elections.
- Be sure to review and submit your health and welfare coverage elections on MyBenefits Online. Once you do, you'll be able to view your online Benefit Summary. Review your coverage elections carefully. If there's an error, promptly contact the Mondelēz International Benefits Center at 1-800-887-8807 (Option 1 - Benefits; Option 1 - Health & Welfare Benefits) so that it can be corrected as soon as possible.
- Review the 401(k) Savings Plan Welcome Packet that you receive at your home approximately 10 days after your eligibility date. Consider your contribution and investment options and submit your elections through the NetBenefits website. Then, watch your email or mailbox for your 401(k) Confirmation Statement.
