Just cancel a cup of coffee, so that the company can save four hundred thousand dollars a year?

This is the true plot of an enterprise.

A branch of Antai Life Insurance Company in the United States requires employees to buy their own coffee drinks so that the branch can save a lot of money a year.

It is time for enterprises to tighten their belts when facing economic downturn.

Many businesses plan to eliminate small benefits such as free coffee for employees, so as to reduce expenditure.

Although the unit price of these benefits is not high, the total amount spent by large companies is considerable.

However, when employees are accustomed to having these benefits, enterprises must take some thought if they want to cancel them.

According to Fortune magazine, enterprises must inform employees and explain reasons when reducing benefits.

If the enterprise is overruled, the employees' dissatisfaction will not be aroused if they are not given advice to employees. Relatively speaking, if the enterprises quietly cancel the benefits, they will also cause employees to doubt whether the operation of the company is poor or not, resulting in an atmosphere of office instability.

The company can explain employees in a more comprehensive way, tell employees about their income and expenses, let employees know that reducing small benefits may cause some inconvenience, but they can save a considerable amount of money for the company, which is beneficial to the company as a whole.

If the abolition of benefits is only based on the current situation, enterprises must explain to employees when they can be restored.

In addition, enterprises can provide employees with the right to choose, so as to reduce staff's resentment.

For example, can employees be asked whether they need a company's childcare allowance or the benefits of free drinks?

After the statistical results of voting, one of them was cancelled.

No matter which kind of benefits is abolished, although some employees will be affected, the employees can be more convinced by the actions taken through democratic procedures, and the company can also put the limited expenses on the welfare of more employees.

Enterprises can also reduce the scope of welfare, but not completely cancel it, so as to reduce employee's rebound.

For example, limit the number of employees, or ask employees to bear part of the cost.

A company in the United States used to provide free canned drinks for employees. Later, the company asked employees to pay $25 Fen per bottle of drinks, which saved the company $one hundred and seventy thousand in the first quarter.

As a whole, employees are not too concerned about whether the company provides small benefits as long as they are good employees.

Use the necessary skills to reduce welfare benefits more smoothly.
