With increased healthcare costs, limited manpower and HR objectives to reduce costs in the benefits package, today's employer must find creative solutions for its employee benefits package. As more dollars shift to the employee and voluntary benefits are added to fill the gaps in the core program, there are opportunities for HR departments to accomplish some of their "measurable objectives" for the company and the corporate bottom line while providing good choices for their employees.

May 15, 2008 401(k) Employee Communications and Enrollment Education
Many companies are not effectively communicating the value of rewards programs. In fact, the Towers Perrin Global Workforce Study reports that nearly 2/3 of respondents rated their organization "fair" or "poor" in providing clear benefit and pay information. When rewards are communicated well, both employees and employers win. You will hear how a Fortune 1000 manufacturing company successfully launched and communicated their redesigned retirement program to truly optimize their reward spend. This presentation will also cover practical strategies regarding communication objectives, audiences, key messages, communication approach and tactics, challenges, opportunities, and measuring success.
