A Glassdoor survey found that 57% of job seekers report that company benefits are one of the top factors they consider when selecting a position with a company. So it is important that you have an insurance agency that can provide you a total package of benefits to offer employees and, in addition, help you communicate those benefits to your employees. At J. P. Perry Insurance, our scope of benefits includes Group Health Insurance, Comprehensive Employee Benefits Plans, Group Benefits and 401K and Retirement Plans. Our professional staff will help you customize an employee benefits package for your company and we will make arrangements to explain and communicate those benefits to your employees.
Regardless of the benefits a company offers, if you are unable to communicate the value and what benefits are available to your employees and prospective new hires, then you are missing the business advantage of offering those benefits. The staff at J.P. Perry recommends the following processes for communicating your company benefits.
Make Sure Your Employees Understand And Use Their Benefits: Many employees get confused or don't understand their benefits, especially when it comes to health insurance. And when it comes to having to use their health benefits, or even after the fact, they are surprised about the cost. That's why in this first step that you have a qualified J.P. Perry agent available to help explain benefits to your employees.
Communicate Benefits Internally: To effectively promote your benefits to your current employees, you should provide written communications detailing those benefits. In addition to a benefits manual, you should consider including benefits features and updates in company newsletters, monthly email memos or post on an intranet or secured online portal, if your company has one. We recommend you communicate benefits on a regular basis and it would be helpful to promote health challenges within your company, such as exercise programs, if you offer health benefits.
Promote Your Benefits To Prospective New Hires: Wherever you are recruiting new employees, either through employment companies, online staffing agencies, and even on your own website, you need to have an overview listing of your employee benefits. Job seekers are going to review these before they make your company a priority for their job consideration.
Survey Your Employees About Their Benefits: By seeking feedback from your employees, you can accomplish two things. One, it gives you an opportunity to see if your employees really know about and understand their benefits. And two, you can see which benefits they like, don't like or even benefits they wished they had, that can provide you with input for adjusting any benefits program.
Employee benefits is a major facet of your business. It is also a major investment in your employees. The professionals at J.P. Perry can help you develop your employee benefits package and then help make it work for you.
