San Francisco – July 21, 2010 – Jennifer Benz, founder and chief strategist of Benz Communications, today announced the release of two toolkits designed to provide employers with strategic communications expertise, and a subscription package of ready-to-use content and templates. Benz Communications is an award-winning HR communications boutique.
The Benefits Communication Toolkit provides employers with an end-to-end solution for annual enrollment, and ongoing health and wellness benefits education. The firm’s Social Media Starter Kit provides benefits managers and/or internal communication teams with everything they need to get started using social media to augment their communications efforts. The Content Subscription Package provides high-quality content that is easy to use, customize and integrate into existing communications. Together, these offerings provide companies with a cost-effective means of communicating benefits year round.
“Whether companies have 100 or 10,000 employees, they – and more importantly, their employees – deserve effective benefits communications. Unfortunately, far too often, packaged communications solutions for small and mid-size businesses are rather basic and tactically-focused, with little strategic perspective,” stated Jen.
“We’ve gained valuable perspective into the needs of small and mid-size businesses through several smaller client engagements and work with strategic brokers. We’ve combined this perspective with the insight gained from our years working with Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For and Fortune 500 leaders to create content rich, affordable solutions,” Jen continued.
The Benefits Communication Toolkit provides smaller employers with an end-to-end solution for annual enrollment and ongoing health and wellness benefits education. This Toolkit includes:
“Social media isn’t just a passing fad; it’s become an essential business tool – and it’s already being used with much success in benefits communication. We’ve created the Social Media Starter Kit in response to the numerous requests we’ve received for this type of insight and support,” said Jen.
The Social Media Starter Kit provides employers of all sizes with virtually everything they need to effectively incorporate social media part into their strategic benefits communication:
Additionally, Benz Communications’ Content Subscription Package is designed for busy HR and benefits managers and/or internal communications teams who don’t have the time or inclination to write benefits content. The monthly package provides high-quality content that is easy to use, customize and include in existing communications, including news sites, benefits blogs, company newsletters or email updates. Topics include a variety of health, wellness and financial savings topics to keep benefits communications current and relevant. Each month subscribers receive four articles, each with two headline options in Microsoft Word selected from the following topics:
Subscribers also receive 20 complementary benefits- and wellness-related tweets each month to support their social media efforts.
“These Toolkits help us share what we care about most: giving companies what they need to ensure their benefits communications are a strategic lever, not just a compliance requirement,” Jen concluded.
