Opportunity: Managers should be trained on how to explain total compensation statements to employees. This is an opportunity to give your managers the proper knowledge to communicate the essentials, including the value of certain voluntary benefits being available to employees, even if the employee is choosing not to use them. Voluntary benefits are designed to provide for the whole of the organization, and there’s value in having such a benefit available to employees even if it’s not actively utilized. So, reviewing a total compensation statement with an employee gives the manager the opportunity to explain the value of voluntary and involuntary figures and discuss what resources an employee can use to determine voluntary benefits that are or are not best for their financial health.
