Make Them Count Identifies Why Investing in Benefits Communication Can Help Retain Employees and Lower Costs, Offers Tips for Implementing Strategic Plan

San Francisco, CA—December 22, 2008—Benz Communications today announced the release of a new white paper on the value of investing in benefits communications and founder/chief strategist Jennifer Benz’ participation in an Employee Benefit News Web seminar on the same topic. Benz Communications is a San Francisco-based human resources communications strategy boutique.

Make Them Count, the new white paper, identifies four reasons why investing in benefits communication can help retain employees and lower costs, along with 12 tips for creating and implementing a strategic benefits communication program.

Jen will co—present an Employee Benefit News Web seminar, “How Benefits Communication Can Improve Retention and Recruiting, and Lower Costs”, with Dani McCauly of Univers Workplace Benefits. Jen will share material from Benz Communications’ new white paper. The Web seminar will broadcast on Wednesday, January 14, 2009, at noon EST.

“It’s tempting for managers to cut benefits communications in difficult economic times such as these,” says Jen. “Before managers start cutting benefits communication as a means of reducing their budgets, it’s important they understand the real value of benefits communication to bottom line concerns such as retention and recruiting, and how to effectively use their benefits communication dollars,” she concluded.
