How to Design Employee Benefits That Make People Feel Valued | HR Strategy

07-23-26 | 4:00 PM MT

Episode Description

A benefits plan is one of the clearest signals a company sends about whether it actually sees its people — and most employees only ever feel it as confusion, fine print, and a portal they avoid.


On this Behind the Quote episode, Kody King and Jon Knudson get into the human side of benefit plan design: building plans around the real moments employees live through — a new baby, a chronic diagnosis, a mental-health stretch, a caregiving year — cutting the jargon and friction that make good benefits feel hostile, and what thoughtful design says to your team about how much you respect them.


We're inviting HR leaders, CFOs, and benefits consultants to join as panelists. Sign up to be a guest and bring the plan-design choice that made your people feel genuinely taken care of.
