The Changing Face of Employee Benefits – Tools for Talking Benefits With Your CFO

Did you know that the cost of employee benefits has risen over 5 times faster than the general Consumer Price Index has cumulatively over the past 4 years? Due to the impact this alarming trend is making on the financial bottom line for most companies, CFOs have taken a more active role in managing the cost of providing health benefit programs to employees. The growing consensus among the finance community is that this trend, if left unchecked, is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. As Benefits Managers, are you spending more time talking with your CFO about the rising cost of providing benefits to your employees than ever before? While the interaction with finance can be a positive one, for many human resource managers this has become a new, yet increasingly important aspect of how the companys employee benefit strategy is shaped. In response to this trend, have you analyzed: How much do you include your CFO in the strategy discussions about benefits? What tools do you use today in these discussions with your CFO? What tools would you like to have to use in those discussions? What the future holds for the mixing of potentially conflicting objectives – financial performance and employee satisfaction? As part of UltraLinks ongoing webinar series entitled Maximize Your Investment in Employee Benefits”, we will discuss the effect this transformation has made on benefit plan decision making and introduce the tools & concepts some of our Clients have used to work more effectively with their CFOs.
