Employers Look Forward: Employee Benefits for 2011

Oct. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Stamford, CT  – Even as they roll out this Fall’s health plan enrollment, employers are looking for new strategies for their benefits programs in 2011.  They know that effectively managing employee benefits programs is key to attracting and retaining a productive workforce and meeting business goals.

Rhodes-Joseph & Tobiason Advisors, an independent employee benefits advisory company specializing in delivering the employer perspective, has released a new Briefing Paper highlighting 11 strategies employers can use to manage their employee benefits program in 2011.

Meeting the challenges of Health Care Reform tops the list for 2011.  Other key strategies include:
•  Leveraging purchasing power by consolidating benefits products and service providers;
•  Adding wellness programs for real returns in health care cost savings and employee productivity;
•  Offering voluntary benefits to round out a benefits program at no direct employer costs.

Briefing Paper authors Donna Rhodes Joseph and Peter Tobiason are uniquely qualified to understand and explain these opportunities.  For over three decades, they were employee benefits leaders at one of the world’s most complex companies.

“Although focused on Health Care Reform, employers know that other plans in their benefits program need to be managed effectively.  By identifying challenges and preparing now for 2011 employers can achieve their business goals and help meet the life needs of their employees,” said Donna Rhodes Joseph, CEO of Rhodes-Joseph & Tobiason Advisors.
