Solve the Issues of Benefits Outsourcing
Nov. 15, 2007 On almost a daily basis, the human resource professionals who work with third-party providers must resolve some sort of problem with that relationship: lack of communication, miscommunication, lack of clear expectations, errors, conflicts, missed deadlines. The skills to select the right service provider, negotiate a fair contract, implement the benefit program and manage the relationship are essential to an HR practitioner's repertoire.
As a road map through the issues that inevitably arise from outsourcing benefits, the new WorldatWork publication of Strategic Benefits Outsourcing: How-to Series for HR Professionals by Dianna Smith, CCP, CBP, provides a holistic approach to the overall outsourcing process. Whether outsourcing a pension administration system or a talent acquisition, many things about selecting and managing a vendor relationship are universal, from selection to management.
A 2005 study by Employee Benefit News and Forrester Research found that 67% of employers outsource 401(k) administration, making it the most commonly outsourced benefit process. As this trend continues, a compact primer into the world of outsourcing, to become knowledgeable and nimble in communication and documentation skills, conflict resolution, negotiation, and understanding the financial and budgeting aspects, will prove a useful resource.
