Many organizations are using a total rewards approach to unite and integrate these rewards—the organization’s people policies, practices and programs—under a single structure. This helps employees and candidates more easily view all the components of a work experience offered by an employer. Once the programs are viewed holistically, a variety of tools and media can be used to educate and communicate their value and how employees can make the best use of them.
A number of communication approaches can be used both in print and online:
• Personalized statements. All the generic information in the world does not have as much impact as giving an employee a snapshot of their own health and retirement benefits. Personalized statements are voted the most appreciated communication among employees. A personalized statement—in print or online—should include all the people programs offered by the organizations. The quantifiable benefits should be on the statement pages and a cover page should introduce and provide context for the statement and linkage to total rewards and the organization’s employer/employee philosophy.
• Printed pieces—newsletters/bulletin—become online spotlights for posting to the Internet.
• FAQs become online interviews with audio files.
• Create a “how to read your statement” audio file to help employees better understand their online personalized statements.
• Introduce online open enrollment by adding a “how to enroll” audio file.
• Turn scripted PowerPoint presentations into webinars.
• Conduct long-distance focus groups via webinars.
• Measure ROI via online surveys.
• Create podcasts for communicating with employees via iPods.
• Set up an internal blog to introduce wellness, promote the value of your 401(k) and educate on making the right choice at annual enrollment by having carefully selected internal subject-matter experts develop and manage the content.
• “High-touch”: Don’t forget the power of in-person presentations, especially when issues/messages are complex, challenging or negative.
• CAMTASIA: Create online training videos or stream narrated PowerPoint presentation on a Web page.
• Swish Jukebox: Plays audio on a Web page in Flash format without a separate audio player.
• Movable Type: Blogging software for professionals and enterprises.
• WebEx LiveMeeting: Online presentations or webinars that can be recorded for future playback.
