Global Benefit Management - Centralized coordination of foreign subsidiaries' Employee Benefits

Profion coordinates the Employee Benefit schemes of all your subsidiaries - nationally as well as internationally

Up until recently, many multinational companies had their subsidiaries decide themselves locally on the design as well as the financial affairs of their benefit schemes. In doing so, the parent company exercised only minimum control and rarely asked for insight into existing arrangements.

Multinational benefits are to be adequate, sustainable and financially viable. Therefore, the supervision of international Employee Benefit schemes is becoming more and more important for German parent companies. In addition, the concerns over the development of current costs and the effects of international benefit schemes on balance sheet, rating and liquidity grow.

The current costs may be reduced by means of an effective global benefit management with the advantages being:

• More favorable premiums through global exertion of influence on insurer.
• Pooling arrangements may be extended and adapted in accordance with the respective corporate strategy.
• Consulting fee and broker commissions will turn out to be lower and through outsourcing the benefit administration, the corporate group will internally save costs.
• A current state of knowledge of changes in legislation and framework requirements at the foreign subsidiaries' locations guarantees compliance.
