White paper: How to increase Benefits Engagement
Key findings
- According to Aon’s Benefits and Trends Survey 2018, employee engagement is one of the two top challenges for employers, alongside retention.
- Four out of five businesses see employee engagement with benefits as a key strategic priority – but only one in four actually define strategic objectives for their benefits.
- The average HR department spends only four per cent of its benefits management budget on communication. Aon argue that this isn’t enough and employers need to be willing to invest in how they share benefits with their employees.
- Good benefits engagement occurs when employees: understand their benefits; truly value their benefits; and are proactive about their benefits.
Aon believes that engagement should have a great foundation and should be an ever-evolving part of a business. As workforces change, business objectives change, and even as legislation changes the nature of benefits themselves, as such employers need to be ready to change along with it.
