Compensation and Strategy: Controlling Benefits Costs
Introduction
According to Pauly, 1997 employers would want to devote much managerial effort to containing premium increases. Yet, many employers clearly have devoted resources to this end over the years, suggesting that they hold a different view. Their perspective (which Pauly terms the “business model”) places emphasis on health benefits as a cost center within each firm to be monitored and aggressively managed. If an employer could cut expenditures for health benefits, or control their rate of increase, and its competitors in the product market could not, it could lower product prices, increasing market share and profits. These gains might be short term in nature if other firms have access to the same cost containment approaches, but nevertheless they may be worth pursuing. Labor market considerations are seen as important constraints on employer cost containment efforts, but the goal of cost control is paramount.
Pauly, 1997 continues that ‘local health benefits managers may wish to manage health benefits to make them more attractive to potential employees, or to reduce costs, but they are severely constrained in doing so.
A good compensation scheme when used as a strategy by an organization aims to give rewards for the right employee behaviour. When employee achievements of the desired results are rewarded it becomes a motivator and this enhances effectiveness thereby increasing success possibilities. Compensation scheme can also be used to reinforce a desired organization culture and the compensation policy must replicate strategic business objectives. Organizations may use both financial and non financial rewards in their scheme. One such benefit is employee health insurance and when strategically used it has the ability to assist the employer and employee in various ways. However the provision of medical insurance is costly and organizations have to constantly look for ways to contain the spiralling health insurance costs to remain competitive in the industry. Most organizations seek to maximise the profitability and revenues and to have a good profit margin they must be able to constantly make cost savings.
Discuss how health insurance benefits might impact the organization’s overall strategic goal-setting process.
Quality manpower is an important asset for any organization .The provision of health insurance has great impact on organization’s overall goal setting process. Once an organization has attracted quality employs into its workforce it is important that it continues to provide quality health insurance so that the existing employees are not attracted to what is on offer by the competitors. Therefore the company is able to retain its valued manpower.
Increased productivity and reduced absent.
Managing health insurance costs is challenging in an era of rising inflation and new healthcare laws. Traditional cost control methods like increasing deductibles have diminishing returns and hurt employee satisfaction. Creative strategies using consumer-driven health plans paired with health reimbursement accounts can lower costs 20-30% while maintaining coverage quality. Proper employee education is crucial when implementing new plans. The healthcare industry is undergoing significant changes due to reform that will impact employers and employees.
This document summarizes key provisions of the Affordable Care Act that employers need to be aware of now and in 2014. It discusses the individual mandate, health insurance marketplace open enrollment, eligibility for premium subsidies, employer notice requirements, essential health benefits that plans must cover, consumer protections, calculating minimum value of employer plans, defining full-time employees, and penalties for large employers that do not offer adequate coverage.

Strategic Value of Employee Benefits Programs
For a commercial entity to stay competitive in the changing business world, it needs to have a strategic human resource department that acts as a strategic partner to ensure it has the best to gain a competitive advantage. The human resources department, therefore, needs to put itself in a decisive role that helps it to attract and retain highly skilled employees. This is affected by several factors that include types of benefits from the company that accrues to the workers. In other words, employee benefit programs are useful in creating an atmosphere that makes employees more engaged and motivated (Klonoski, 2016). Therefore, for a company to be strategically in terms of competition, the human resources department needs to step away from conventional administrative roles to be a strategic partner who recognizes the value of employee benefit programs and the role they play in generating a significant competitive advantage. This makes it vital to be mindful that an excellent employee benefits package attracts and maintains the skills required to distinguish a company from its competitors. This paper discusses the factors to considers when providing employee benefit programs, compares and contrasts income protection programs, and pays for time not worked programs and other benefits that are necessary for the benefits package.
Factors to Consider Before Providing Employee Benefits Programs
Everyone is aware that rewards are components of an organization's overall incentive package. It is also worth noting that other than the traditional pensions and healthcare plans, employees need a broader choice of benefits that reflect the changing needs and lifestyles (Hagel & White, 2016). It is undeniable that every commercial entity must ensure that it has in place attractive employee compensation packages to attract and retain the talent needed to gain a meaningful competitive advantage. It must, however, be recalled that many essential variables play a crucial role in deciding an economic entity's employee benefits programs. One of these variables is the type of benefits to be provided. Some benefits are too expensive to provide while others are within reach of many business organizations. Therefore, a commercial enterprise must weigh its financial soundness to avoid providing a benefits program that works against its overall objectives.
Another variable to consider is aligning the benefits strategy with the business objectives. The human resource department of an organization must revisit a plan quite regularly to ensure that it meets the changin.

2. Stay Competitive
You must stay competitive and find a balance between
employee retention and backlog. Focus on indirect costs and
what can be done to reduce them and/or make them variable.
3. Cut the Fringe?
This is the challenge. Do
you look to the fringe
benefits for quick cost
reductions? Do you double
the cost to the employee
for health benefits, for
example?
Consider first what could be the
result? Would it ultimately cost you
some key personnel?
4. Fringe Rate – What Does it Cost?
Fringe benefits are accounted for in the fringe rate
(total cost of fringe benefits/wages), a multiplier used
to calculate the total cost of labor.
Fringe rates within the BBRS-supported companies
range from 30 percent to 100 percent (depending on
the employee’s wages and benefits elected), with an
average rate of about 45 percent, so for every $1 of
labor, there is a total cost of $1.45 to include fringe
benefits.
5. Fringe Benefits – What are They?
Fringe benefits are costs paid by
employers on behalf of their
employees in addition to normal wages
and salaries …
6. Required:
• Payroll Taxes
– Social Security
– Medicare
– Federal Unemployment
– State Unemployment
• Worker’s Compensation
7. Company-Paid Benefits
– Medical/Dental/Vision
– Long-Term Disability
– Short-Term Disability
– Life Insurance
– 401(k) Match
– Profit Sharing
– Paid Time Off
– Holidays
Medical/Dental/Vision and retirement benefits make
up about 60 percent of the fringe rate and are the
variables that can make the most significant impact
on the fringe rate, by increasing or decreasing the
benefit.
8. Optional Company Offerings
• Company Offerings
– Flexible Spending Account
– Discount Programs
Optional, but valued by employees
9. Cost vs. Value
• A great fringe benefit package typically comes with a
significant price tag, but is a key factor in attracting
and retaining personnel.
• Some of the most frequently leveraged benefits to
retain “high-performing employees” were health
care and retirement benefits, according to a 2013
report from the Society for Human Resource
Management (SHRM).
10. Reference materials
• One in five (20 percent) organizations reported
leveraging their benefits program to retain
employees, according to State of Employee Benefits
in the Workplace—Leveraging Benefits to Retain
