Benefits communication that goes the distance

Article Abstract:

Ninety-eight percent of the companies responding to a national survey reveal that their personnel, benefits, or human resources department are responsible for communicating to employees about benefits information. The departments often lack the skills to develop a successful information package that employees will read. Wang Laboratories (Lowell, MA) is an example of one company that has an effective information program. Wang created a benefits information program that provided trainers with seminars on sales and marketing techniques. The program also included brochures, mailers, and information systems, using digital voice exchange. The program achieved a 90% pre-enrollment rate.

Early retirement pensions: penalty or perk?

Article Abstract:

Early retirement plans must be consistent with long-range company objectives and take into account costs, new tax laws, and the possibility of plan termination. Employers must ascertain the effect of early retirement plans on employee turnover and normal retirement. The provisions of a defined plan should be carefully designed and communicated to employees. Poor design and faulty communication can result in excessive cost, inadequate benefits, and poor morale.
