Communication One to One
Many employees struggle to see the obvious advantages of benefits that are not monetary (salary and bonuses). Often, non-salary benefits can account for around 30% of the overall benefits package so it makes sense for employers to help their staff appreciate these ‘hidden’ benefits.
Orb offers a service called ‘Benefits focus’ aimed at new employees. This involves a face-to-face meeting to explain all the benefits on offer to each employee and a talk through how to make the most of these, taking into account individual personal circumstances.
Communicating with employees is vital to help them understand and make the most of their benefits. Orb offers a range of communication materials to support the benefit design. Although face-to-face meetings involve a greater employer investment than other forms of communication, these are by far the best way to engage employees and motivate them to take action.
Employers can also get invaluable feedback from these meetings; a vital aspect of communication that is not often possible using other channels.
Our ‘Benefit focus’ meetings for new employees give them all the details they need to make informed decisions before enrolling for various employee benefits. Meetings are carried out by our own qualified independent financial advisers.
