Most workers likely think that their benefits are very mundane and uninteresting. This apathy can lead to all kinds of problems when it comes to compensating employees, since companies won't be able to convince their workers that the services and insurance that they provide them with are worth paying attention to at all.
Consequently, it is important to make benefits packages interesting. That is what the recipients of the New England Employee Benefits Council (NEEBC) Best Benefits Practices 2011 awards did. These organizations engaged in all kinds of efforts – including hosting a contest on benefits knowledge and holding sociable enrollment drives – to drum up support for benefits participation.
Educating employees about their benefits packages is not only a matter of providing a great deal of value to workers for compensation, It also helps to reduce costs. The more staff members who are enrolled in a retirement account program or health insurance plan, the lower the cost of premiums will likely be for both the employer and the employees themselves.
