I Have Benefit Problems!

Employee Benefits

“It’s a standard. Manual locks. Crank windows. Not a lot of options but it does come with one of those seat covers with the little wooden balls that massage your back as you drive.” Wow, that’s a compelling ride. Why would anyone not jump all over that? Now consider your employee benefits package. Is it the souped up sports car that everyone’s drooling over or is it the “economy” model that you practically have to pay someone to take off your hands? If you’re at all serious about finding and retaining great employees you must offer appropriate incentives. Here are common employee benefit and compensation considerations to heed:

Are you competitive? – Today, potential employees are interviewing you as much as you are them. Offering a competitive compensation (healthcare, retirement, life insurance, long-term disability, salary, tuition reimbursement, flexible spending plans, long-term care plans, etc.) package isn’t just for the elite companies anymore.

Are you creative? – You need to be competitive but even more so you need to get creative if you want to attract and hold on to great people. Understanding individual motivators and generational nuances are part of this.

Regulatory Changes – Complying with regulations and keeping up on regulatory changes are vitally important but aren’t always easy to do.
