Our organization aims to establish an employee benefits program that supports the well-being of our diverse team. We seek collaboration with students to create a comprehensive plan that aligns with our goals and budget.

Project Steps

Students will engage in the following key steps:

1. Identify Objectives and Conduct a Needs Assessment

• Understand the diverse needs of our employees through surveys or focus groups.
• Determine what benefits are most valued and required by our staff.

1. Recommend Changes to the Program

• Analyze the needs assessment findings and propose a tailored benefits package.
• Consider budget constraints and feasibility in recommendations.
• Gather and incorporate employee feedback into the proposed program.

1. Create a Communication Strategy

• Develop a clear and effective strategy for communicating the benefits to employees.
• Determine channels for communication (e.g., meetings, emails, newsletters).

1. Develop a Periodic Evaluation Process

• Outline methods to periodically assess the effectiveness and relevance of the benefits program.
• Establish metrics for evaluating employee satisfaction and program utilization.

Bonus Steps

• Assist in Implementing the Communication Strategy
• Collaborate with Resilient Hearts staff to launch the communication plan.
• Support the initial rollout of the benefits program to ensure clarity and engagement.

Project Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should deliver:

1. Final Report

• A comprehensive document detailing the needs assessment, program recommendations, communication strategy, and evaluation process.

1. Presentation

• A presentation summarizing findings and proposals to stakeholders at Resilient Hearts.

Student Support

Throughout the project, students will receive mentorship and support from Resilient Hearts staff. We will facilitate:

• Direct communication for questions regarding:
• Current benefits (if applicable).
• Benchmarking against employee benefits programs in similar organizations.
• Guidance on challenges encountered during the project.
