The Culture of Benefits

Book Cover & Preview Text
Benefits are the result of a promise kept by an employer to the employees Consider how benefits must align with overall business schematic. A successful package forms part of the overall compensation strategy for attracting and more importantly, retaining top talent. It is a fact that a benefit plan also works to re-enforce the culture of the organization. Stands to reason then that there has to be a trust between the organization and its employees that the benefit plan will remain intact and be there when they need it. Let’s be clear, insurance and benefit providers are FOR PROFIT organizations themselves. They too must be competitive. The market, underwriting, risk, specific customer requirements, amongst a multitude of other factors go into the pricing model. But at the end of the day, the purpose of insurance is to cover off the element of “risk”. • Risk of loss of life • Risk of loss of income • Risk of a catastrophic event Too often, corporations review their benefit package with an eye only on the dollars spent, viewing benefits as a commodity, rather than the important component of compensation, culture and wellness that it is. Business owners are happy (and rightly so) to take the premium decreases when the usage—and NEEDS are low, and all too willing to remove coverage at the exact time that is it needed most.
