4 email templates to communicate your benefits right now

TrueConnect_BenefitsEmailTemplates

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it might for some, that just implementing a new benefit isn’t enough. 

If you want your organization to utilize the benefits you’ve worked so hard to procure, you must also provide consistent communication on these benefits.

Depending on your organization’s structure, communication could look like:

  • Email outreach
  • Direct mail
  • SMS outreach
  • Fliers on bulletins
  • Including video or written content to your intranet

While these five all provide more information, three of the above are more actionable and two are more passive. If you choose to include fliers on bulletins and content to your intranet, it’s typically a good idea to also choose a communication type that is more actionable. 

Even if your employees don’t use them right away, it provides more visibility into their availability so they are there when/if they are needed. 

Today, let’s focus on email templates to communicate your benefits.

Consistent communication is key

Employers should communicate benefits to their employees for several reasons:

  1. Attract and retain employees
  2. Enhance employee satisfaction
  3. Improve employee well-being
  4. Boost productivity

None of these should come as a surprise for why to offer benefits, but they apply to communicating your benefits as well. 

Overall, effective communication of benefits can lead to a more engaged and satisfied workforce, which can have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line.

Which of the above templates would you use–more professional or more casual?
