April 4: National Employee Benefits Day

April 4 is National Employee Benefits Day. Celebrate by making sure your employees have all they need to make the most of their group and retirement benefits.

• The NRECA Employee Benefits website is your employees’ hub for all things benefit-related. Check in on retirement savings or reallocate 401(k) funds. Find a doctor or enroll in NRECA’s First Steps Maternity program.

• Provide “16 Tips for a Beneficial 2016” to your employees so they know the top 16 ways to make the most of their benefits.

• Help an employee prepare for the death of a spouse with our latest brochure that can help participants and/or their loved ones prepare for and manage the financial implications of losing a spouse, as well as assist co-op benefits administrators, HR departments, and members of the Personal Investment & Retirement Consulting (PIRC) team as they work with these participants.

• Make certain employees know about Life Strategy Counseling, which provides at no additional cost professional, confidential support for personal challenges caused by addiction, anger, family relationships, stress, parenting, workplace concerns, aging, depression, grief or physical or emotional abuse. They simply call 888.225.4289.

• Share with your employees wellness and prevention tips and ideas produced exclusively for our members. We will continue to build this content resource page with articles and infographics that address topics relevant to your employees, such as smoking prevention, cancer treatment and bone and joint care.
