Step 1: Define Why You Want to Offer Benefits

Ask yourself:

• What challenges am I facing with recruitment or retention?
• What kind of culture am I trying to create?
• What values do I want reflected in my employee perks and programs?

📝 Write it down:​
​“I want to offer benefits because...”

Step 2: Take Inventory of What You Already Offer

You may already be offering more than you think—these are called internal benefits and they matter!

Common Internal Benefits:

• Paid time off (vacation, sick days, holidays)
• Flexible schedules or 4-day work weeks
• Education reimbursements or training incentives
• Team-building events or annual retreats
• Product or service discounts
• Mental health days or wellness perks

📝 Make a list of current perks you offer:

Step 3: Know Your Budget Range

Start mapping out what’s financially possible over the next 6-12 months. This helps ensure your benefits plan is sustainable and strategic.

Ask Yourself:

• Can I afford $50–$200/month per employee in added benefits?
• Do I want to offer partial coverage or full?
• Would I rather do higher-value perks for fewer people or smaller perks for everyone?

🧮 Rough Budget Notes:​
• Estimated monthly/annual budget: ________________
• Number of employees to cover: ________________
• Current payroll percentage of revenue: ________________

Step 4: Understand External vs. Internal Benefits

Internal Benefits:

• Culture-based and customizable
• Easy to implement without HR support
• Examples: flexible hours, education credits, team rewards

External Benefits

• Usually administered by a third-party provider
• Often include health, dental, vision, retirement
• Examples: 401(k), group health insurance, life insurance

​

You’ll need both for a powerful, competitive strategy.​
Be ready to explore partnerships with an HR firm or broker in the webinar.

Step 5: Start a List of Questions for the Experts

Bring your top concerns to the webinar. Consider:

• What benefits will help me attract long-term hires?
• How do I make this affordable?
• What are the tax advantages or drawbacks of different benefit types?
• What do other salons or service businesses like mine offer?
