Communication as a competitive advantage

One of our clients, an award-winning hospital with 8,000 employees, was seeking to attract and retain nurses during a drastic talent shortage. As the county hospital, this employer was often overlooked and its generous retirement program was underutilized and poorly understood. Milliman's communications team interviewed the hospital staff to understand how it perceived the plan and worked with the hospital's HR executives step by step—through planning meetings and surveying employees—to identify the strengths of the hospital's retirement benefits program. After pinpointing the weaknesses in the communication strategy, we updated the graphic design of its materials, revised messaging, and added interactive employee education events.

As a result of the new communication strategy, the hospital's retirement savings plan participation increased by about 650 employees.
