Although every multinational organization is unique, most face similar challenges managing their global benefits and total reward programs. The solution lies in adopting a global-but-local approach.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, the only way to administer employee benefits globally is through the implementation of a global benefits and total rewards platform<\/a>. A global benefits and total rewards platform establishes uniformity, reduces administration by streamlining processes, creates greater accessibility for employees, and increases benefits participation by enabling the digital enrollment into benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how do you choose a benefits platform that can deliver globally?<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Experience Is Everything<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you were hiring for a job that required driving, you wouldn\u2019t hire someone without a driver\u2019s license, would you? The same logic applies to delivering benefits globally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a milk allowance in Botswana, airport business lounge passes in Russia, tuition reimbursement benefits throughout South America, or flexible benefits plans in Germany, choose a benefits provider with knowledge and experience administering complex benefits programs across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Think Local, Act Global<\/span><\/h3>\n

When a global organization decides to offer specific benefits across the board and across borders, to be effective, the benefits need to be localized in each country using local suppliers. But wouldn\u2019t this be an administrative nightmare, you ask? Not with the right benefits platform. When choosing a global benefits platform provider, the whole idea is that even when using local suppliers, all administration, including taxes and payments, is managed from a single platform located, for example, at head office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using an example from a previous post about managing a global yet personalized wellbeing strategy<\/a>, it can be helpful to think of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that your organisation makes a global decision to offer wellness benefits to every employee in each country that you operate. The wellness benefits offered in each country are then localized based on the local market, and fulfillment is made through local suppliers and vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Make Benefits Accessible and Enrolments Digital<\/span><\/h3>\n

While most organizations understand the importance of employee benefits, the problem many face is low participation rates. In most cases, it\u2019s not that the benefits are not attractive, but rather access is restricted, and the benefit enrollment process is convoluted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we use our smartphones for everything, be it sending e-mails, updating our social media, taking photos, streaming music, or ordering food. As a result, today\u2019s leading organisations understand the importance of adopting a mobile-native mindset. In brief, if you want to increase benefits participation, you need to make benefits easily accessible. What better way to give employees access to their benefits than on the device that\u2019s always with them?<\/span><\/p>\n

By choosing a global benefits provider with its own employee app, employees everywhere can conveniently access their benefits information and enroll in benefits digitally from the palm of their hand, anywhere, anytime. Additionally, for blue-collar workers who are often without access to a work computer or intranet, digital benefits enrollment through an employee app is a must.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Seamless Integration<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another important thing to consider when choosing a benefits provider that can deliver globally is making sure that their platform can integrate with your existing systems and applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that your new global benefits and total rewards platform allows for the setup of APIs so that existing systems such as payroll can be integrated, and multiple applications can \u201ctalk\u201d to each other while being managed from a single source.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, the process of integrating systems should lead to greater automation and reduce administration \u2013 not create additional work.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Global Overview<\/span><\/h3>\n

With a global-but-local mindset, HR professionals and platform administrators should choose a benefits provider that offers a single overview of an organisation\u2019s entire workforce, and that enables them to manage their global benefits in one place. <\/span><\/p>\n

For global organisations, being able to see which benefits are performing and in which countries, from a single source, is essential, as is the ability to see the costs and spending on benefits and pensions from around the world, including supplier costs and prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Global Dashboard<\/a> can assist HR with strategic bench-marking, custom analysis and reporting so that decisions around employee benefits and reward strategies can be made on actual data, not estimates.<\/span><\/p>\n
