Strategic Benefits through Employee Involvement (ET16)

Employers tend to view wellness and consumerism as solutions to the cost problem where as employees tend to view them as buzzwords for cost shifting. A committee of employees, with the appropriate tools and skilled facilitation, can create an employee environment of ownership, appreciation and shared responsibility for the benefits program at your company. This course will provide tools to shift from an old benefits paradigm to the new paradigm resulting in employees understanding that we’re all in this together.

This course will cover: 

  • How to evaluate whether establishment of an employee benefits committee is an effective strategy for your organization
  • How to implement and facilitate an employee benefits committee
  • How and why employee benefits committees have been effective at other organizations
  • The strategies and considerations inherent to an effective employee benefits committee
  • How employee benefits committees have positively changed decision paradigms and employee behaviors in other organizations
  • The methods for enacting behavior change in your organization through establishment of an employee benefits committee.
