5 WAYS TO PROMOTE YOUR EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAM
In today’s dynamic job market, employee benefits can be a difference maker for your company. Here are five things you can do today to promote your employee benefit program:
1) Make Benefits a Part of Overall Employee Compensation Communication - Use employee benefits as one of many perks of working with your company, adding salary and incentives that are offered to employees. This enhances the perceived value.
2) Convey Positive Messaging Around Benefit Use – Be as positive as possible and promote options that help employees with their health, money and their lives. For example, frequently promote resources such as your Employee Assistance Program.
3) Promote Benefits Year-Round – Companies that have a reputation for taking good care of employees get there by promoting benefits all year long. For example, create a compensation statement that can be downloaded by employees at any time and remind employees to connect with HR anytime they have a question or need support.
4) Offer Benefits Q&A Sessions – It can be hard to remember every detail of every benefit and some employees may have questions, especially if they’re new to the company or experiencing a life change that might affect their benefits. Understanding a benefit is the first step to using a benefit and offering quarterly Q&A sessions will help to educate employees.
5) Empower Your Employees – Make benefits information available online using a benefit administration system so it’s easy for employees to self-enroll, access details and manage their own benefits.
Proper benefit management is part of good workforce planning as it ensures your workforce stays motivated, healthy, and cared for. If you want to inspire long-term loyalty, a transparent and flexible benefits system is the place to start. What if you could give employees an engaging experience that makes it easy to understand their benefits, with less effort and minimal cost on your end?
