The Swiss Life Network – your international employee benefits provider
The challenges of complexity, compliance and
cost-efficiency
Whatever the size of your company’s operations abroad,
you face increasing complexity in the employee benefits
area. This may be due to having more countries to manage,
but beyond this, there are increasing compliance pressures
and constantly changing employee benefit requirements.
At the same time, cuts in social security benefits are putting
greater demands on corporate employee benefit plans in
many countries. And with costs continuing to rise, em ployee
benefits are a focus of growing concern on the management
agenda.
Your trusted partner for all employee benefit issues
worldwide
Fortunately, there is a proven and effective way for multi-
nationals to respond to this situation. By entrusting your
local employee benefit plans to an international network of
providers like the Swiss Life Network, you ensure expertise,
transparency and a single point of contact to help you
more easily manage complexity, secure compliance, increase
cost-efficiency, and gain top-quality solutions and services
for your plans around the globe.
