Dr. Jean, The Results Queen, and her guest, Eric Thieringer discuss managing benefits, HR, and payroll for small businesses. Eric shares common complaints from business owners about rising benefits costs. He advises budgeting annual increases of 4-7% and exploring self-funding options. Self-funding involves paying a monthly premium and capping liabilities. Dr. Jean and Eric discuss addressing employee privacy concerns with health questionnaires for self-funding.
They emphasize the importance of planning, with suggestions for quarterly meetings to assess benefits, HR, and payroll. Outsourcing payroll is recommended to free up 3-5 hours per month. Addressing HR shows employees they are valued. Partnering with a PEO provider is suggested to customize HR systems for small businesses. The key is selecting a lead benefits advisor and trusting them to make informed renewal decisions at least six months in advance.
Listen to the episode to learn more about how to help manage your benefits, HR, and payroll to free up more time as a small business owner!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
