Benefit Advisers
A Benefit Adviser is involved in a wide range of tasks and responsibilities that are as diverse as the needs of the business. Experience has shown us that the following are invaluable to nearly all businesses:
Industry Knowledge
In order to make a significant contribution toward the business aspect of a project, the Benefit Adviser needs to keep well ahead of the latest developments in HR & Benefits. He or she should ensure that leading-edge approaches are thoroughly evaluated so the industry’s best practices can be incorporated, if appropriate, into upgrading existing projects or developing new ones.Researching
The Benefit Adviser will spend a considerable amount of time researching better HR methods. This will involve liaising with industry specialists and consulting firms, attending seminars covering new ground, and collecting new reading material that is relevant to BayPoint Benefits.
Planning
Having consolidated the new information, the Benefit Adviser will spend time planning and developing new ideas for eventual presentation to the client. Sometimes these presentations will be in response to specific requests, but often they will be proactive offerings of new ideas to help maintain the highest possible standards of innovation.
Identifying Need
Client needs are often latent, and it is the Benefit Adviser’s responsibility to continually work to identify these needs. One of the Benefit Adviser’s key tasks is to accelerate the process of gaining the client’s confidence about changing current working methods and adopting new approaches.
Report Writing
The Benefit Adviser will have had plenty of experience in contributing to various types of reports, including business cases and reviews. He or she might also have been involved in writing up feasibility studies and post-implementation reviews. BayPoint requires the ability to produce full businesses cases together with pre-feasibility reports and more complex post-implementation reviews. This is particularly important when an innovative project has generated a considerable interest and could be used not only as project history but also as an information source for future issues.
