The economy is bad, prices are up, people are more likely to look closer at pay and benefits. Not surprising at all. Oh no HR has to do it's job and answer employee questions....
Wow, I can sense a little hostility here. That makes sense. I honestly am just looking to make sure that I'm doing all I can to support employees, but I know it's not an easy time for anyone right now and there's only so much I can do.
I don't really go to HR for anything. I've had some pretty bad experiences in the past and it's kind of soured my perspective of that department.
See, I don't want to create this experience for employees, but it's also difficult when there's nothing I can do to help and they are adamant that something change.
Is the concern a large increase in their out of pocket? Did bonuses go significantly down when profits have been up?
That's something worth looking into, for sure. They seem unhappy with the insurance benefits they're receiving. And not everyone is receiving bonuses this year, so that's been an issue too. Of course, it's tough to be faced with the complaints when I didn't make the decision
HR cannot really change existing benefits. That is something top management has to agree and make it happen because it will probably cost a lot of money.
With that in mind, I never really talk to anybody at HR about benefits in my company. All I need to know about my benefits is available online through my company network.
I guess the only thing HR can do for the complainers is to let the top brass know that the benefits are not good enough for some people.
