MANAGING EMPLOYEE RISKS HOW TO INCREASE THE IMPACT OF YOUR BENEFIT PROGRAMME

HOW TO INCREASE THE IMPACT OF YOUR BENEFIT PROGRAMME Employers invest time and money in offering a comprehensive range of employee benefits and non-salary rewards to attract and retain the right employees. All too often companies do not put the same effort into promoting the benefits and rewards they offer; good communication is essential to make sure you make the most of your investment. In addition your employees will have diverse needs reflecting their personal circumstances, interests and aspirations, and those needs will change over time. It can be a challenge to offer the right range of relevant benefits, and then communicate and manage the programme efficiently with each employee. You may well find that you aren t offering the benefits that your employees really value, that the take up rate isn t as good as you expected or that the costs of managing your programme are escalating.
