Stock options give every employee the ability to become a part owner of a company but members of the management team might be at greater risk because a larger percentage of their compensation might be in stock.
While most employees would stay put if an employer provided financial advice, employers need to segment their employees to address particular needs: Who wants a live webinar? Who wants personalized in-person advice?
With employee burnout driving high turnover, a growing number of firms offer paid or partially paid leave, but careful thought needs to go into designing and implementing how health coverage and 401(k)s fit into the picture.
Certain accommodations, such as leaving early or providing breakfast or lunch, are often needed – and much appreciated by employees – during those brutal stormy days.
If employees do not save towards retirement, they might be stuck indoors at home because they cannot afford to go anywhere, which is why employers need to shine light into that dark corner of the calendar again.
You can buy lists and reach out by mail, phone or e-mail, but you want to meet business owners face to face. Here are some conventional (and unconventional) ways to make this happen.
To raise employee awareness of benefits, firms could highlight one benefit a month and explain its value in dollar terms in a e-newsletter or devise a personalized benefits summary for each employee's annual performance review.
In a competitive job market, access to a certain primary care doctor or mental health benefits may be the determining factor when it comes to someone accepting your job offer or choosing to work somewhere else.
Perhaps employers need to talk about benefits in a language employees understand – reframe the benefits package as a loyalty rewards program, name it (like Celebrate Excellence) and position it as a benefit of working at your firm.
What if a client's company suddenly undergoes a reorganization? Or a contact moves to another job? Here are 5 ways to be proactive to save current relationships and plant the seeds for future ones.
