Benefits - HR Happy Hour

Even though many seasonal employers may not offer health benefits to their employees, most employers do offer some benefits /perks like discounts, workers compensation, reduced cost meals, etc., to everyone. Whether you do or you don't offer benefits, this happy hour is worth a listen. It's good to be reminded of best practices related to benefits and this is the first time that the HR Happy Hour has addressed the subject. Jennifer Benz was the guest and she had some great tips for employers. The most important tip of all? Communicate, communicate, communicate.

Miscellaneous Suggestions:

  • Create a branded benefits summary to reduce confusion and communicate to your employees. Don't just use the plans' documentation.
  • Distribute a list of the hidden components of your benefits program called "The Ten Benefits That You're Missing" to capture their attention.
Thanks to Steve Boese and Shauna Moerke for continuing to host this great program.
