Benefits Communication
Background
HR directors and pension plan trustees now see their communication roles as much more than simply ensuring that employees have access to information. The modern benefit communication programme is researched, planned, matched to objectives and evaluated. The aim is to increase understanding of the benefits and appreciation of the value which participation provides. Furthermore, statutory regulation and media coverage have increased the profile of pensions to a degree where employees are much more aware of their vital importance as a long term investment.
Key issues:
- Are your employees aware of the value of all aspects of their total remuneration package?
- How do you ensure your employees understand and appreciate their benefits and the value of being a member of the company pension plan?
- How do you ensure that your employees accept their joint responsibility, with the company, for preparing for their retirement?
- Is your communication environment robust enough to manage a major shift of benefit options, such as the introduction of a defined contribution plan, a flexible benefits programme or a merger of various pension schemes?
- How do you communicate effectively in a changing environment?
What we can do to assist you:
- Our consultants can develop a communication plan to match your needs and
circumstances.
- We can advise on a continuous cycle of communication activity, maintaining
high employee awareness of benefits issues.
- We provide creative ideas and suggestions to enhance and support the
ongoing communication process.
- We can advise on the introduction of total compensation statements which
show the full value of all aspects of the remuneration package.
- We can work as part of your internal communication team, either in a lead
or supporting role.
What the results would be:
- a sustained and robust communication plan which increases employee understanding and appreciation of the value of their remuneration package;
- heightened employee awareness of the full range of benefits of working for your company;
- greater employee appreciation of their own responsibilities to plan for the future.
