Compensation Strategies

Communication and Education

We believe that communication is the key to maximizing the value of a compensation or benefit program. Using a variety of methods, we strive to provide participants with all the information they need to understand and make the most of their plan:

  • Online account access – Our proprietary state-of-the-art online administration system, BenefitManager, gives participants direct access to their accounts to:
    • Enroll in a plan by following a simple, step-by-step guide
    • View daily account balances by fund, source or year
    • Change and verify investment allocations
    • Monitor investment performance
    • Research investment options
    • Access account transaction history
    • View and print benefit statements
    • Review plan eligibility and guidelines
    • Retrieve a variety of plan documents in pdf

  • Customized educational materials – We create easy-to-read enrollment kits that effectively convey information about plan structure and benefits. Kits are customized to reflect your company's corporate culture.
  • Participant meetings – Informational meetings with participants are conducted during the open enrollment periods. We answer questions, provide guidance and emphasize the value of executive benefits to encourage maximum plan participation.
  • Help desk support – Our knowledgeable professionals respond to participant questions and client contact needs on an on-going basis.
  • E-mail campaigns – Informational and marketing messages can be delivered directly to participants' e-mail boxes.
  • Web-casts – Keeping in mind the busy schedules of your top executives, we conduct simultaneous Web-casts of participant meetings to help ensure all participants have access to information.
  • Individual benefit reporting – Quarterly benefit statements with information on plan performance and account balances mailed directly to participants.
