A caregiver-friendly environment – group discussions that can provide emotional support and offer best practices and training classes, either in person or online - can help educate employees who might be new to the caregiver role.
Getting involved in meeting organization and providing agenda content can make the jobs of the professional staff easier, while giving a benefits broker an opportunity to interact with members who have the potential to be clients.
Since work-life balance, or flexibility, is of major importance to Gens X, Y and Z, they place a high value on child care, paid parental leave, education assistance, wellness programs, pet insurance and working remotely, say surveys.
Employees want help to pay off debt, create an emergency fund and tackle retirement planning, but trust is key: Here are 7 ways to respect their privacy with the right third-party provider.
Does it need an overhaul? Along with benefit plan amendment deadlines and implementation requirements, the turning of the calendar is a good time to reassess if benefits are robust enough to recruit and retain the best talent.
Drip marketing works. That's why employers need to continually show employees more and more reasons why they should save for retirement, using a variety of signs, email campaigns and text messaging.

Once employers realize improving the benefits package can help increase morale and reduce turnover, they see it as money well spent, since it makes hiring away employees much more expensive for a competitor.
Is someone building an industrial park, medical office complex or office building in the area? Who are the new tenants? Or who's renting new office space? Here's how you find out.
As a benefits professional, you know the toughest part of the sales process can be getting in front of the decision maker. Yes, a country club membership costs money, but it gets you in front of the right people.
