Executive Benefits

Like most employees, highly compensated executives are concerned about earning, saving and achieving financial independence during their working years. Moreover, the typical executive’s lifestyles requires variations on standard benefit programs like retirement and insurance plans that will more adequately meet their personal and family needs.

 

Through executive benefit plans, employers can sponsor meaningful programs on behalf of their employees that will lead to financial security while working and into retirement.  Where typical benefit plans are subject to regulatory limitations, plateaus, and caps; executive benefits are often more flexible, highly customizable, and can be tied to the success of the company.

The best of today’s benefit plans emphasize participation, choices, and financial commitment from the employees.

Retirement income

Executives are aware that their employers’ benefit offerings are paramount in their lives, and employers understand different people have different needs.  Experts say that for employees to maintain their standard of living into retirement, they will likely need replacement income of 70 to 80% of pre-retirement income.  We encounter clients who were offering life insurance and disability insurance plans that ignore non-cash compensation like stock and some bonuses, which provided some top executives and/or their families with less than 20% to 30% of their incomes in the event of an illness or death.  It is important to rethink how these plans are designed, communicated and supported.
