ployees should be approached with a statement such as this: “Are the company’s offerings meeting your needs? If not, we want to hear about it so we can make our bene- fits program more meaningful. That will make it worth your while to work here, and also make it worth our while from a dollars and cents perspective. As an employer, we don't want to spend money on benefits you’re not going to use.” Once survey results are in, take action. “Be sure to ac- knowledge employee input,” said Berry. “Let people know the survey findings in terms of what the company needs and what steps you will take as a result. Be transparent. Employees need to feel that they have a voice, that they have been heard and acknowledged.”

While surveys are the most effective channel to ferret out employee needs, companies can also solicit feedback from small work groups that dialog about benefits. Too, some sleuthing can fill in the gaps. “It’s important to find out what your competitors are offering,” said Berry. “That ties into recruiting and retention, as you want to make sure you’ve got what it takes to keep your best people from jumping ship.” Finally, employers can fine-tune company offerings by monitoring utilization. Providers can report on which ben- efits are being accessed and how often. “You might think that one benefit is the best one ever, and then discover that maybe only 10 percent of your employees signed up for it,” said Stich. “You might conclude there’s a more ef- fective way to spend your money.” Keeping It Real Designing an ideal benefits package is one thing. Funding it is another. Health coverage is expensive, and the dollars required to support physical wellness can ham- per ambitions to extend coverage elsewhere. “It’s hard to balance the need for benefits against limited resources,” said Winans. “The cost of healthcare goes up every year, and tends to eat up the rest of the benefits budget.
