Strategic Benefits Planning

Competitive employee benefits packages are essential for attracting and retaining quality employees, but continuing to offer these high-value packages can be tough with the continually rising cost of health care burdening an already tight budget. Cutting employee benefits may seem like a necessary reality for some companies, but could have serious long-term consequences.​​

​

Retaining employees throughout these rocky economic times is vital to ensuring that your company remains competitive and positioned favorably in its industry. By implementing a strategic employee benefit plan, an employer is able to contain or even cut costs while still offering competitive benefits like group health, life insurance, and employee assistance programs.

​

A strategic employee benefits plan is a three-to-five-year plan that outlines company goals, strategies, and action steps for your employee benefits program. Corporate Financial will partner with you to create cost containment strategies and value-added plan improvements. This methodology allows for a logical long-term approach to benefit planning, as opposed to making decisions year-to-year, and will provide a foundation on which to base future employee benefits program decisions.

​

At the company level, creating a strategic employee benefits plan is a key component of internal budget planning and should align with your corporate strategic plan. Doing so allows human resources to be better positioned to keep employee benefits central to larger strategic conversations to ensure that a competitive benefits package is an integral part of the corporate strategy.
