Top Tips: Communicating benefits January 2012

Posted date: 21 December 2011
Employee benefits packages are one of the biggest incentives an employer can offer. Once enrolled in a scheme it is important employees are continually informed about developments and messages are reinforced. Here are some tips to help effectively do this. 
 

Survey employees

It is important to gain feedback to understand employees’ needs and find out if what you are doing is working. The use of surveys and focus groups can help to gather employee feedback and maintain the momentum of a benefits scheme.
 

Communicate clearly

Imagine your employees do not know anything about their benefits package. When communicating benefit options, make sure you use simple terms that everyone can understand and be confident with. This can help employees to be more comfortable with their choices.
 

Communicate all year round

A lot of information is taken in during the enrolment process. You should discuss benefit options year round as continuous exposure to the scheme can help give employees time to retain information, and ask questions before making their selections.
