Rethinking employee benefits

As the person responsible for HR in your company, you face the challenge of offering attractive benefits in order to position your company as an attractive employer for both current and new employees.

Company benefits can go far beyond bike leasing, fruit baskets and company pension plans.

• Many employees have private concerns, such as a care situation in their family (children, their own parents or other people).
• They often know too little about the payments they can expect in retirement. This uncertainty causes many people a great deal of worry.
• They worry about how they can relieve the burden on their relatives. This may involve a care situation, ensuring that they can act by preparing legal documents (such as a power of attorney, advance healthcare directive and will) or dealing with topics such as digital inheritance (this sets out how digital data should be handled after death. In my view, this is becoming an increasingly important topic.)
• These situations often involve emotions that, due to poor preparation, usually do not get the attention they deserve, making difficult circumstances even more complex. Good preparation can help ease the burden on employees.
• Another very important topic for medium-sized companies and large corporations is international talent. Here, I mainly support them by providing knowledge about social security contributions, the pension system and planning for their financial future in Germany.

As part of promoting work-life balance and strengthening women in companies, I speak at companies on the following topics:

• How to manage your digital inheritance
• Power of attorney, advance healthcare directive & organ donor card
• Planning your own funeral during your lifetime
• Introduction to retirement planning: How well prepared am I for retirement?
• Retirement planning for women
• Money Mindset / Empowerment

I offer the following formats:

• Talks lasting between 45 – 60 minutes + follow-up discussion
• Themed workshops lasting 120 – 180 minutes
• Themed training sessions lasting half a day or a full day

As a company, you can choose from the topics available and design your employees’ training individually and according to their needs.

What my clients say “Our female employees feel financially empowered – we can feel that throughout the whole team.” – Sandra, HR Manager at a medium-sized company

My educational formats give your employees the opportunity to clarify important and troubling questions for themselves and find suitable solutions. This allows them to return to their daily tasks in your company much more focused and relaxed.
