Have you discovered inefficiencies in communicating with new employees, costing your HR department thousands of hours of lost work time?
Are you revamping the benefits section of your website to ensure your workforce knows what their options are, how to register for them, and who to talk to?
Do you need to ensure material is written at a reading level accessible to all team members?
Do you feel that your employees aren’t always aware of the benefits offered to them, or how much their employment package is worth outside of salary?
One of our greatest strengths is overseeing content-heavy projects with multiple stakeholders, such as a corporate initiative to improve employee benefits communications.
Our team has worked with human resources departments at Fortune 100, Fortune 500, and Fortune 1,000 companies, as well as with owners of boutiques, single-location businesses, and offices, to enhance messaging to the entire workforce. We coordinate all stakeholders- messaging, prioritize tasks to meet deadlines, gather employee feedback on current communication strategies, and, of course, produce clear, concise benefits materials that everyone can understand.
Compensation Is More Than a Paycheck
You want your employees to see you as an employer of choice where your people are the envy of their cohorts, your HR department receives unsolicited resumes from top talent, and your workers are loyal to your company throughout their careers. How can you earn this status? Start by showing them exactly how comprehensive their employment package is – in language that makes sense to them.
Businesses today are leaning into more flexible, fair, and transparent compensation strategies, offering more one-to-one and other total compensation options such as spot bonuses, gift cards, and reduced working hours or time off. Of course, your standard offerings, such as health insurance, dental, and retirement should not be overlooked. A recent survey by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce found that around 96% of Americans regard employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) as the most crucial benefit an employer can provide.
Unfortunately, all your compensation efforts and resources may be wasted if you do not clearly communicate the value of your offering to current and prospective employees.
Communicating Total Compensation
Your benefits package represents your dedication to your staff. But frankly, they often don’t see all the perks of their total compensation package. We’ll help you write content that clearly lays out all the advantages of your employee benefits plan, so your team members will recognize all you offer, from salary to insurance options to paid time off and other customized options.
We help you to comprehensively communicate your compensation maturity and ensure that your workers understand the monetary and other values behind every benefit you offer, from sponsored health insurance to paid social events.
With our breadth of experience writing employee benefits material, we understand key elements that will deliver your important HR message to your staff:
- Organization: How to efficiently process large volumes of information and multiple stakeholders.
- Salesmanship: How to present your benefits packages to show real value to your employees.
- Simplicity: How to boil down all concepts to their simplest form.
- Presentation: How to leverage tables, graphics, and graphs when a picture speaks louder than words.
- Appropriate reading level: We ensure all your compensation communications are written at the 7th- or 8th-grade level, the average for readers in the U.S.
- English as a second language (ESL): We tailor your benefits, compensation, and other HR messages so they can be understood by non-native English speakers.
