Engaging Employees in Benefit Changes
As we all know, changes to benefit plans—and healthcare benefits, in particular—are a reality right now. While some changes increase costs for employees, it seems that employees even view changes that will increase retirement contributions or flexibility with sick and vacation time as “takeaways” because of their negative perceptions associated with changes to their health benefits.
While reading FC Now, the Fast Company weblog, I came across George’s Employement Blawg…which lead me to this: More high prices ahead for healthcare benefits; some more innovative options for responding. George links to Workforce Management and four case studies related to managing health costs. The common threads throughout the case studies? Early and frequent communication and employee engagement.
