NewsLetter March 2009 The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer. Peter Drucker 2 Editorial Dear Reader 2009 promises to be a year full of challenges – both old and new. For the Swiss Life Network, however, our centre of gravity are our clients. We are committed to supporting you throughout these turbulent times with appropriate and comprehensive employee benefit solutions. Because these are a key success factor − particularly in an economically difficult environment. We focus in this issue on customer loyalty, with several examples of how Network Partners are working to increase and maintain loyal clients. The perception of loyalty has changed over the last few years. In competition with immediate profits, loyalty often seems to have lost importance. But the Swiss Life Network bases its business model on long-term relationships and trust, so we believe that loyalty is essential. We practice loyalty every day, with our Network Partners around the globe and with our customers and other business partners. And in listening carefully to all our partners, we work constantly on increasing mutual loyalty. If you have concrete suggestions on how we can improve our relationship with you, and hence increase our mutual loyalty, please let me know. Constant exchange and communication are of the highest importance to us, and vital in these challenging times. I look forward to getting your input!

So it is up to insurers to identify their high-value clients, understand what their needs are, and pursue a robust strategy to attract and retain them. Client loyalty programmes have been around for many years – certainly since the introduction of supermarket coupons. In international business, most of us are familiar with frequent flyer incentives, designed to retain the most frequent clients by rewarding their loyalty. But what do these techniques have to do with insurance? Plenty. Because insurers and their clients can also benefit through loyalty programmes that offer rewards for placing – and maintaining – more business with their insurers. Clients are more self-sufficient and less automatically loyal The profile of the typical insurance client is changing, and one thing is clear: clients have become increasingly demanding. The internet provides access to information on products and pricing, making them more self-sufficient and price-sensitive, and less loyal. Moreover, insurers can no longer assume that a satisfied client will stay loyal when the relationship is tested − perhaps by less than excellent claims handling. To serve informed clients better, insurers must improve client retention strategies by better understanding what clients really value – and providing this. Tailor-made solutions to fit client needs Because no two clients are the same In the past, insurers believed they should treat each client exactly the same, regardless of their specific long-term value. However, because no two clients are identical, the same loyalty scheme cannot be applied to all. Clients have different expectations and need different solutions. It is important to make clients feel they are “unique”, and receive special treatment from their provider. So it is essential for insurers to study client requirements and tailor products and services to match. Achieving client loyalty through in-depth knowledge Loyalty schemes should be aimed at retaining the most highvalue clients. However, schemes also need to gather information to update the client data base, help design more effective offerings, and boost corporate profitability. While loyalty in the insurance industry is often encouraged by cash incentives and payouts, more importantly, it depends on the product offering and service quality. Which means insurers need to better understand – and satisfy – their clients’ needs. Today we are shifting from a fixed product model to a more adaptive, needs-based model, which lets us fine-tune our offerings according to each client’s changing demands over time. Insurers who understand this have a significant competitive advantage. By better supporting client needs, we deepen our client relationships; and by aligning more products with more needs, in the context of truly comprehensive solutions, we can turn client satisfaction into true client loyalty. There are four key areas to focus on: 1. Understanding client requirements 2. Satisfying channel preferences 3. Providing high-quality advice services 4. Managing loyalty through the client experience Introduction Understanding the client is essential Many insurers struggle to obtain the right client data, making it difficult to optimise client relationships, refine products, and support growth. However, leading insurers are now achieving more comprehensive information on clients by using new tools for client data analysis, financial management, contact management, etc. – all of which make insurers more competitive and better able to retain their clients. Distribution channels must align with client preferences Insurers need to understand how clients prefer to buy products, and how they want to receive post-sale service. In some markets, clients prefer to use agents/distributors or independent financial advisors both to purchase insurance and for advice. The quality of advice is a major driver of client satisfaction By keeping prices competitive, and ensuring the highest quality services, insurers address two important drivers of client acquisition and retention: price and service experience. Above all, insurers can influence the primary driver of client satisfaction by improving the quality of advice. Loyalty through a consistently high-quality client experience Top insurers know that it is essential to deliver a consistently high-quality experience, plus added value services, in order to gain and retain the loyal, high-value clients on whom their success depends. In other words, the client must always come first, and the sign of a top insurer is that it focuses totally on each client’s interests and needs. So for example, every Swiss Life Network client has a dedicated contact to ensure excellent support at all times, based on a thorough understanding of their requirements and preferences. When they receive such service, clients rarely wish to change provider, particularly when they can also rely on receiving innovative products, financial incentives, and other added value services. After-sales service is the key distinguishing factor to promote loyalty After-sales service has become extraordinarily important, thanks to increased levels of competition and greater client mobility. In the financial sector, which includes insurance, products are often very similar, and innovations can be copied quite quickly. This means that in the final analysis, the only way to distinguish a company from its competitors is through its after-sales service to clients. The sale is not simply the end of a commercial process: it is the beginning of a profitable and lasting relationship, designed to deliver ongoing added value – and achieve client loyalty. Affinity programmes benefit clients and insurers Affinity programmes are an excellent way to strengthen relationships with clients. There’s no one size to fit all: it needs well-designed solutions, adapted to the exact requirements and goals of each client. Swiss Life Network’s modular multinational solutions are excellent examples of sophisticated, tailored affinity programmes, offering excellent quality service and advice, as well as information, underwriting and financial benefits such as multinational pooling. Several Swiss Life Network Partners also offer client loyalty programmes: see the Partner News section of this newsletter. 5 6 Partner News Denmark: client loyalty programmes from a Danish perspective Health and well-being are attracting considerable media attention in Denmark at the moment. At the same time, products dealing with healthcare and well-being are being used as a way to retain clients within the pension insurance sector. Health and well-being can increase the client satisfaction of both employers and employees. Health and well-being schemes help retain clients While employee retention may be affected by fringe benefits such as free newspapers, free telephone calls, and fitness club memberships, pension and insurance companies are aiming to retain clients by offering a wide range of products that help corporate clients retain their employees and keep them working. Lotte Elsborg, Product Manager at PFA Pension In the past, one way to hold on to an unsatisfied client was to offer a cost discount on their insurance coverage. Today, it is more common to offer alternative products that are intended to promote client health and well-being. Sickness absence is expensive The idea of retaining clients through offering healthcare products is particularly appropriate given the challenges the Danish labour market faces at the moment, namely stress and job-related disorders, which reduce employee productivity. Another problem is rising corporate sickness rates. There are several reasons why it makes sense to focus on sickness absence: • 150,000 people in Denmark (some 5% of the workforce) are absent from work due to illness every day • only 70% of total absence is due to actual illness • 35,000 people report unfit for work due to stress • long-term sickness absence is increasing – it is up by 25% since 2005 • sickness absence costs Danish society over DKK 35 billion a year. According to the Danish Chamber of Commerce, even a minor reduction in sickness absence can lead to large savings. In a company or organisation with 200 employees, an absence rate of 8% costs DKK 3.5 million a year. If the absence rate can be reduced from 8% to 5%, this will result in savings of DKK 1.3 million a year. Partner News Employees are not afraid to talk about sickness absence A study by one of Denmark’s leading opinion research institutes, Capacent Epinion, showed that employees are generally willing to discuss their health with their managers: Would it be acceptable if my manager asks questions about my short-term absence? 80% 80% 60% 60% 67% 67% 40% 40% 20% 20% 12% 12% 19% 19% 3% 3% 0% 0% Completely Neither/Nor Completely Do not know Completely agree/Agree agree/Agree With its wide range of products focusing on health and well-being, PFA Pension is one of the leading providers of healthcare products and preventive healthcare to corporate clients in Denmark. Through PFA Health Counselling, PFA helps companies to reduce sickness absence. PFA Health Counselling also provides professional counselling on stress/well-being, sickness absence, abuse, illness, etc., and helps corporate clients develop policies on stress and sickness absence. The overall objective is to ensure efficient treatment, so that an employee who is absent due to illness can return as soon as possible to his or her job. A further positive side-effect is that PFA’s efforts also contribute towards increased client satisfaction and retention.

But to be successful, these programmes must be different, deliver true added value for clients, and be profitable for the company. Aseguradora Mundial believes that it is important to increase client satisfaction, promote direct contact with each client, and offer genuinely added value services. The company’s loyalty programme is designed to improve quality of life in the medical and health area. Aseguradora Mundial’s Dr. in Minutes (“Dr. En Minutos”) service delivers home medical attention, available 24/7, which provides medical assistance whenever the client’s health or that of his/her family requires it. Dr. in Minutes includes medical advice by phone and in person, home visits, transport to hospital, and more. Aseguradora Mundial’s strategic alliance with the medical services supplier enables it to offer the programme through a capitation scheme with a cap on fees, which in turn reduces the level of monthly premiums. While take-up of the service is relatively small so far, clients are impressed by the offer, which is communicated at every contact with the company and its intermediaries. This is having a positive effect on perceptions of the company, and this in turn is proving valuable in terms of client loyalty for Aseguradora Mundial.

Galicia Seguros recently launched a campaign to communicate with its target market. Since this is already flooded with information, Galicia Seguros looked for a communications strategy to differentiate itself and show it has the creativity to deliver tailor-made solutions for every size of company. Furthermore, since all companies have their own structures and values, yet are made up of people from different backgrounds and of diverse ages, it is clear that in order to succeed, they need to work together as a big family. As a result, Galicia Seguros has launched a campaign based on Matrioshkas, which represent wisdom, good luck, long life and family.

Matrioshkas The Russian nesting doll “Matrioshka” was created about 100 years ago, based on the Fukuruma dolls of Japan and China. Fuku = luck; roku = riches; ju = long life. Matrioshkas are made of wood and painted in lively colours. They consist of a set of dolls that fit inside each other. Matrioshkas are said to bring luck to their owners and to represent wishes: when one wish has been fulfilled, the next Matrioshka can be opened. 10 Partner NetworkNews News India: Kotak Life Insurance takes initiatives to boost investor confidence in a wary market In response to the current economic situation and consumer demand, Kotak Life Insurance has introduced several unique initiatives to encourage cautious investors to invest in capital guarantee ULIPs. Apart from launching an interactive website, the company plans to aggressively promote the capital guarantee products in many ways. Capital guarantee ULIPs from Kotak Life Insurance offer the dual benefits of capital protection and potential returns. The concept of capital guarantee Unit linked capital guarantee plans offer investors an opportunity for long-term capital appreciation through exposure to the equity markets, while protecting their capital from downside risk. Simply put, these plans promise to return at least the premium paid by the individual on maturity, thus providing risk-averse investors with an avenue for equity investment and real wealth creation, coupled with peace of mind. Elizabeth Venkataraman, Head Marketing, Kotak Life Insurance Kotak Life Insurance’s suite of capital guarantee products Kotak Life Insurance introduced its first capital guarantee product in 2003, called the Kotak Safe Investment Plan. The company subsequently introduced additional innovative products of this kind. Most plans in the market maintain a high debt-oriented portfolio to keep risk low. This can compromise returns and astute financial planning. Kotak Life Insurance’s capital guarantee plans offer higher equity exposure of up to 80%, ensuring that investors benefit from stock market upside returns. Partner News Recent initiatives to inform clients Kotak Life has recently launched an interactive website called www.safeulips.com supported by an aggressive marketing campaign. The website offers information and tips on investing, educating customers on how Kotak Life Insurance products can provide solutions to their investment dilemmas. According to Elizabeth Venkataraman, Head Marketing, Kotak Life Insurance, “Capital guarantee lets an investor achieve the dual objectives of safety as well as returns. It addresses the current sentiments of customers who are seeking avenues for investment at a time of volatile equity markets. The website is aimed at educating customers about investment options that are not only safe, but can also provide good returns.” Kotak Life Insurance has launched a pan-country print, outdoor and internet campaign which, together with the website, aims to increase awareness of the advantages of capital guarantee plans among investors. Capital guarantee is applicable to the Kotak Safe Investment Plan II with five times cover for ages 0 to 65 years for a regular payment term, and up to age 50 for a limited payment term; and to the Kotak Retirement Income Plan (unit-linked without cover) for ages 18 to 65 years and a policy term of 15 years or more. Life cover is not available with the Kotak Retirement Income Plan (unit-linked without cover). Please refer to the specific product brochures and policy document for details on all terms and conditions. Capital guarantee is applicable after three years of premium payments.

It is entirely paid by the state, with no direct costs charged to citizens. Despite this, over nine million people are insured privately, thus gaining access to high quality services while avoiding waiting lists for public health services and ensuring their own choice of doctor. Private health insurance in Spain The most common contracts involve health insurance within a predefined medical network. However, Spain is different to other countries in Europe in the way health insurance works. For example, clients receive medical services directly throughout the country from networks of doctors and hospitals, without having to pay upfront. This is in contrast to the reimbursement schemes of Europe and America. The market is highly concentrated in Spain, with 75% of customers insured by less than 15 insurance companies. The reason for this is the concentration of expertise, and the high value placed on the quality of medical networks and their presence around the country. Jaime Español Moreda, Manager Individual Technical Department, VidaCaixa VidaCaixa Salud accesses a superior network VidaCaixa offers one of the best medical networks in Spain, and manages over a million health insurance services each year. VidaCaixa’s extensive network involves over 33,000 doctors and 1100 medical centres, including 400 private hospitals. It operates in all provinces in Spain, as well as the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, and cities of Ceuta and Melilla (in North Africa). Partner News Coverages Advantages for employers VidaCaixa Salud provides the widest range of medical coverages available, including: • Primary care • Emergencies (also home service) • Diagnostics (no limits per visit nor per session) • Preventive medicine: • Hospitalisation: including Intensive Care Unit with no time limit • Psychiatry • Dental • Podiatry • Ambulance services • Psychotherapy • Internal prosthesis • Special treatments including chemotherapy, speech therapy, etc. Health insurance for employees is a social benefit that is greatly appreciated by employees and contributes to building staff loyalty. Such plans also generate potential savings for the company, as they avoid employees having to wait for doctors, and thus reduce worker absenteeism. Advantages for employees Premiums are more advantageous under collective contracts, and families can be included at a lower price if the premium is paid by the company. Corporate health insurance also helps employees avoid paperwork and save time. Tax benefits For employers: The global cost of the insurance is tax deductible for the company (no limits on the amount). Insurance premiums are not included when calculating contributions to social security. Additional services include: • Second medical opinion • Medical advice: free qualified medical support by phone 24/365 • Pre- and post-natal services • Travel health insurance For employees: The cost of medical insurance is not considered payment in kind or income from employment. As a result, it is not taxable (up to legally-established limits: EUR 500 per person annually, with the possibly of including the employee’s family). Special coverages offered only by VidaCaixa Salud: • PET/CAT scan • Psychotherapy for eating disorders • Laser therapy for dermatology • Genetic confirmation testing for diagnosis of illnesses For more information please visit www.vidacaixa.es or contact Ms. Ana Cardoso Delgado, VidaCaixa e-Mail: [email protected] Phone: +34 93 227 89 57 13 14 Partner News Switzerland: Improving the structure of pension fund balance sheets by transferring biometric risks to insurance companies By Hansueli Kaufmann, Swiss Life (Switzerland) The current financial crisis is having a major impact on pension funds, with only a small number of these now able to retain their full risk capacity. Many boards are debating how to improve their risk capacity and thus secure the entitlements of active insureds and pensioners. One measure under discussion to reduce risk is to adjust the investment strategy. In major cases of underfunding, Hansueli Kaufmann, Key Account Manager for corporate clients and Swiss Life partners there is also the option of raising special contributions. Unfortunately, adjusting the investment strategy to reduce risk would limit potential returns when the capital markets recover, and imposing supplementary contributions for employers and insureds would only add to their burdens at this difficult time. However, by transferring more biometric risks to an insurance company, it is possible to improve the balance sheet structure of pension funds and thus their risk capacity, without resorting to more radical measures. Biometric risks of pension funds In securing insured benefits for old age, death and disability, pension funds take on biometric risks. Whereas death and disability risks generally fluctuate annually, there is a steadily upward trend towards longer benefit payments to pensioners. Both the fluctuation risks of death and disability, as well as increased life expectancy, affect pension funds through the need to build reserves. Since these reserves must have the same coverage ratio for active insureds as for pensioners, they absorb funds that thus become unavailable for other purposes. The level of reserves for death and disability risks are generally set in line with expected claims; reserves to compensate longevity are set in relation to the available reserves of the pensioners portfolio. If a pension fund reinsures part of its insured risk, often in the form of a stop loss insurance, the reserve for the fluctuation risks of death and disability is only required to cover the fund’s risk retention. The balance sheet of a model pension fund with no or only partial reinsurance of its risks looks as follows: Assets Liabilities Effective value of investments 120 Pension fund capital 100 Securities fluctuation reserve 12 Risk fluctuation reserve 8 Adding the risk fluctuation reserve to the pension fund capital results in a coverage ratio (in this model case) of Assets Liabilities 111% (120/108). Effective value of investments 120 Pension fund capital 100 Securities fluctuation reserve 15 Free asset reserve 5 Partner News Transferring biometric risks Conclusions There are several ways to transfer the biometric risks of death and disability to an insurance company, with flexibility on whether the risk transfer should be partial (up to a defined self retention), or full. Partial transfer means that there can be a smaller risk fluctuation reserve in the pension fund. The full transfer of risks removes the need to keep any risk fluctuation reserve at all. Naturally, by transferring biometric risks to insurance companies, in comparison to autonomously managing the risk process, there are opportunity costs that can be as high as the costs of equivalent insurance contributions. However, when there is poor claims experience, the inclusion of a large insurance company in the process allows better calculation of the load on the pension fund. In addition, a higher transfer of biometric risks is only necessary for as long as it takes to secure the solvency of the pension fund. Assets of longevity risks may Liabilities While the transfer be unattractive to many pension funds on cost grounds, transferring the Effective value Pension fund capital pensioner portfolio can lead to an improved balance sheet. of investments 100 120 By simply transferring new pensioners, the fund can stareserve bilise its future obligations by Securities avoiding fluctuation the trend towards 12 ever-increasing average lengths of pension payments. A full Riskinfluctuation reserve transfer of biometric risks results a coverage ratio of 8 120%, and the balance sheet of a model pension fund would look as follows: Assets Liabilities Effective value of investments 120 Pension fund capital 100 Securities fluctuation reserve 15 Free asset reserve 5 By fully reinsuring the biometric risks, the burden removed from the liabilities can be used to increase the securities fluctuation reserve. Once this has reached the required level, any remaining reserves can be allocated as free asset reserves. In this way, the structure of the pension fund’s balance sheet can be substantially improved, for example, by rebuilding risk capacity for investments. This can also help avoid the need to raise additional contributions. The insurance company taking on the risks will generally ensure that it receives an adequate price to cover the liabilities involved (based on prior claims experience). If there are major positive deviations between expected and actual claims, the use of claims experience systems can substantially reduce the net costs for the pension fund. Hansueli Kaufmann is a Key Account Manager for corporate clients and Swiss Life partners. He brings over 30 years of professional experience in employee benefits to the position. After completing his studies at the University of St. Gallen, Hansueli Kaufmann held a variety of positions in the employee benefits field. For many years he was the senior manager of a department responsible for special contracts and insurance for associations. He was also heavily involved in the development of a specialist subsidiary for autonomous pension funds. 15 16 Partner News Finland: Ilmarinen wins two prestigious IPE awards for excellence Launched in 2001 by Investment & Pensions Europe magazine, the annual IPE awards set industry benchmarks for excellence in the management of Europe’s pension funds.

The company currently has 2,300 claims in payment, and pays out total benefits of EUR 45 million each year. fltr: Niall Hussey, Technical Manager Income Protection Claims; Shane Goggin, Technical Manager Income Protection Claims; Adrian Cardiff, Director Income Protection Claims; Shane O’Farrell, Risk Product Manager.

The aim is to pay genuine claims quickly and efficiently, and to assist as many employees as possible to return to work. As this improves a scheme’s income protection experience, it ultimately reduces employers’ premiums. Irish Life recognises the importance of maintaining a longterm relationship with each income protection claimant. The relationship extends from managing claims efficiently to offering rehabilitation and retraining options, as well as trained help and advice. All services are offered with the objective of restoring physical, mental, social and occupational capability as quickly and as fully as possible. Claimants Returned to Work 200 180 Home visits Irish Life employs four health claims advisors who work solely on home visits. These carried out 700 visits in 2007, and a similar number in 2008. 300 visits were for pending claims, and 51 were to offer rehabilitation. Income protection rehabilitation The company currently offers six rehabilitation programmes. These cater for mental health problems, back pain, neck pain and cancer. They also offer a case management service and a career change programme. Over 225 claimants have completed an Irish Life rehabilitation programme so far. To date, 41% of claimants who completed a rehabilitation programme in 2008 have returned to work. Typically, programmes cost about EUR 3,000 per claimant, but can be up to EUR 6,000 (fully funded by Irish Life). Client meetings Return to Work – Sucess Rates Return to Work Trends 2002 to 2008 Irish Life has three technical managers who are available to meet employers to discuss claims and back to work opportunities: Adrian Cardiff (Director), Niall Hussey (Manager) and Shane Goggin (Manager). 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 est.

Closed pension plans are private and have their own management structure. They are also available as multi-sponsored plans, and offer solid advantages to medium and big companies. Open pension plans can be either collective or individual, and may be operated by insurance companies, banks, or non-profit organisations. The most common open pension plans are the Plano Gerador de Beneficios Livres (PGBL) – similar to the US 401k plan, and the Vida Gerador de Beneficios Livres (VGBL), for employees’ contributions. Icatu Hartford’s IhPrev plan Icatu Hartford created “IhPrev” as a multi-sponsored plan in 1996. The company is one of the few insurers to specialise in multi-sponsored plans. IhPrev allows a sponsoring company to outsource its pension fund administration and asset management, but keep its plan exclusive and segregated from other sponsors’ plans. IhPrev is a solution for companies seeking improved services for participants, supported by high-tech systems. In addition, IhPrev’s modern governance structure, which is approved by the regulator, allows the company to outsource criminal and financial liabilities. These would normally be assumed by directors in the case of in-house managed plans. The second half of 2008 saw the multi-sponsored market grow even stronger, since these plans normally have lower costs due to their shared overheads. They thus help companies reduce their expenses - a particularly important advantage during these difficult financial times.

She was previously Senior Manager, Global Compens ation &Benefits and HR Processes for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Geneva. Prior to this she held HR managerial positions in London for Wolseley plc and Reuters plc, having worked in Reuters’ Moscow office for seven years. Corinne Mauzac has considerable cross-functional experience at both corporate and front-line levels, including management, finance and PR/marketing, dealing with different nationalities and diverse cultural backgrounds in a variety of countries. She has high-level expertise in all aspects of HR management, particularly remuneration. A holder of postgraduate qualifications in modern languages and international HR management, Corinne Mauzac speaks French (mother tongue), English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese. When did you start at Stryker and why did you choose to work there? CM: I joined Stryker just over two years ago as Senior Manager, Compensation&Benefits, EMEA. I was attracted by the role as the top European specialist responsible for developing reward strategies and policies, and also by the company’s dynamism, success, and strong ethics. My role has evolved, and following our recent reorganisation, I am now Director, Compensation & Benefits, Europe. This still doesn’t reflect the true scope of my work, as I also manage international assignments, support corporate projects, and advise the president of our Japanese division. But that’s Stryker: full of interesting challenges and development opportunities. Corinne Mauzac, Director Compensation and Benefits Europe for Stryker SA in Montreux, Switzerland What characteristics do you consider most important for a successful director compensation and benefits? CM: Obviously, in-depth specialist knowledge. An international background and experience are essential to understand the particularities of each country’s tax and social security regimes, employment legislation and infrastructure, as well as local cultures. An open and inquisitive mind, and well-honed communication skills, preferably in more than just English, also help. In a decentralised, matrix organisation, the only credibility you have is that which you earn through continually delivering excellent results and maintaining a cooperative and professional attitude at all times. What characteristics in your employees do you most admire? CM: Most are incredibly hard-working, talented, committed and enthusiastic about their jobs. They’re passionate about integrity and thrive on success, both their own and Stryker’s; they’re proud of the company and we’re proud of them. Client News Employer branding is a key success factor when it comes to building a qualified workforce. What is your company’s strategy? CM: I’ve been working on a corporate project to create a common employee value proposition, now nearly complete, to be used by all divisions as appropriate in their markets. Within Europe the HR and Marketing teams have collaborated to ensure that the logos, slogans, and messages used on web pages, at recruitment fairs and in advertisements are consistent. What is your vision and mission for the next five to ten years? CM: Regardless of the current economic climate, I think Stryker will expand its market share in Europe in the long term, and continue to innovate and champion new technologies. This means our compensation and benefits policies must continue to evolve, and I want to encourage a more collegial approach and closer networking between our compensation and benefits specialists. Stryker EMEA has reorganised its business along product lines rather than geography. As a result, our top executives now have to manage multinational teams. This means we need to both harmonise the remuneration framework across countries and franchises, and educate line management on the complexities of cross-border comparisons, so they don’t convert Swiss francs into Euros when assessing employees’ pay in different countries. What were the most important factors when choosing Swiss Life Network for your employee benefits, and what are your expectations? How does your company gain new clients, develop existing clients, and retain loyal clients? Do you have a client loyalty programme? CM: As a sales and distribution division we have a large sales force that is dedicated to doing just that, mostly through offering our customers the best range of products, the best customer service and the best, most knowledgeable advice. A loyalty programme would be inappropriate in our industry, and we are very careful and proud to meet the compliance requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and of our European industry watchdog Eucomed. Because of your commitment to the organisation there must be one thing you miss, for example, time with family, or travelling to relax, or a favourite hobby. What is it? CM: My family do occasionally complain of my unavailability, I have never taken all the holidays I’m entitled to as there’s never a good time, and I haven’t been skiing at all yet this season – but I love my job and strongly believe Stryker makes a big impact on patients’ lives, so whilst I do try and have the discipline to put away the Blackberry after 9 pm and at least part of the weekend, I wouldn’t change a thing. *Opinions expressed here reflect the personal view of the person interviewed. CM: Flexibility and choice, good local support in the countries, and excellent customer service from headquarters. If Swiss Life continues to offer the same we’ll be more than pleased. Our Japanese division has just joined the network as well. Looking ahead, what do you think the future holds for employee benefits? CM: Long term I think we’ll see more choices offered to employees and more global initiatives. Mid term, I expect significant changes due to government reforms, e.g. of state pensions and health systems. In the short term, cost containment is an issue for many organisations and this may lead to temporary austerity measures in some areas. Profile Stryker Stryker is a broadly based, global leader in medical technology that consistently delivers exceptional results. Stryker is one of the largest players in the USD 28.6 billion worldwide orthopaedic market, and its products improve medical professionals’ and patients’ lives in over 120 countries.
