Tip of the Day: Don't be dead wood

EBN contributor Jack Kwicien starts a five-part series this month on creating and executing a multi-year strategic benefits plan. He makes a strong case for why you should get started and pronto:

"In a difficult economy, you have to be even more adept at creating value for your company and employees. Many firms are in survival mode, so your company needs your best counsel as a benefits professional and superior results now more than ever. From your own self-preservation perspective, you don't want to be tossed out with the dead wood that will inevitably be axed in 2009."

I don't know about you, so I'm convinced! Do you have a strategic benefits plan in place or are your crafting one currently? What are some of your successes and stumbles? Let me know.
