Employees, how frequently do you actually go to HR to complain about benefits? I've had 3 people this year, and this feels unusual to me. Wondering if we have a serious issue at the company. Health insurance in particular is the main concern, followed by bonuses.

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.

How big is the company you work for?

Have you thought about bringing on Mental Health/Wellness support?

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co.

I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co.
