The TE Group Process:
Having worked with numerous executive and HR teams for over 60 years, we have identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that demonstrate how effectively an organization is maximizing its return on investment in its employee benefit and HR budgets. These KPIs provide focus for strategic and operational improvement, a method to compare achievements to similar organizations and serve as the foundation of each custom Strategic Plan. When an organization is running highly effectively on all KPIs, it not only maximizes its return on investment, it elevates its relationship with employees.
Each plan is created as a comprehensive method to execute your organization’s benefits goals more effectively – your way. The Blueprint serves as a pathway to a successful benefits program. But it doesn’t end there; The TE Group continually monitors performance and measures success to ensure your program makes a positive difference in your organization.

EMPLOYER
Lower payroll taxes/increase working capital and more productive workers and improved hiring and employee retention
Employers save on average $650 in payroll taxes per W-2 full-time employee annually with no out-of-pocket costs. These net savings increase working capital that can be used to sustain and grow an employer’s business. “When you create an environment of psychological safety and well-being, you create well-being capital, which boosts performance in healthy ways and enhances your bottom line. We are beginning to see data collected to validate the well-being capital model”. “Most adults spend at least a third of their employable years at work. The mental health challenges create a cost for employers. Our global survey finds that employees experiencing at least one mental health and well-being challenge (nearly three in five) report worse employee experience metrics. They are three times more likely to experience toxic behaviors and four times more likely to want to leave their organization.”

EMPLOYEE
Better benefits with no out-of-pocket and a healthier life
Benefits are expensive. Employees gain additional Wellness Benefits, enabling them to utilize telehealth, marriage counseling, weight loss/diabetes counseling, and dependency counseling. Employees can also receive Supplemental Benefits such as Universal Life, Short Term Disability, Accident Coverage, and Critical Illness Coverage. All the Wellness and Supplemental Benefits are provided to the employee with no out-of-pocket costs. ”A majority of employees report challenges accessing mental healthcare. The most commonly reported barriers are lack of insurance coverage, difficulty determining covered services, not knowing which resources are available, difficulty finding providers, and long wait times to get appointments.”

GOVERNMENT
Healthy workers and citizens and collection of tax dollars
The government is incented to provide a tax break to offer Preventative Care Management. “A long-term comprehensive approach (to mental health) is likely correlated to organizations gaining the full potential benefits from improved employee health. If individuals, businesses, and countries widen their understanding of health, they may reap the benefits of gains in life expectancy and quality of life.” “Potential measurable effects of enhanced mental health supports include fewer missed workdays and increased return to work rates. Among employees surveyed, those with anxiety or depression report missing, on average, roughly six times more workdays per year than individuals without a mental health condition”. Wellness and Supplemental employee benefits should aid the government in achieving more productive employees and citizens and more stable and possibly a hire tax base from both employees and their employer on a state and federal level.
