Who Owns the Benefit?
A Practical Guide to Roles, Accountability and Engagement
It’s easy to put someone’s name next to a benefit in a spreadsheet. Getting them to take responsibility for it is much harder.
Perhaps they don’t know what they’re expected to do. Perhaps they’re too busy. Or perhaps one person has taken on so much that nobody else can make a decision.
This free course helps you tackle those problems. You’ll learn how to choose suitable people, explain what their roles involve and help them stay involved.
Whether you’re managing benefits or you’ve just been asked to own one, you’ll find practical advice you can use straight away.

Useful tools to take away
The course includes:
A Benefit Accountability and Engagement Excel workbook.
A Benefit Owner quick-start card with seven useful questions.
A 15-minute briefing guide to help people agree what the role involves.
These resources help you put the lessons into practice using your existing processes and tools.
A name in a register isn’t enough
Two common problems are explored in the course.
The owner who never really became an owner
Someone is given responsibility because they’re the expert, but nobody explains what they’re expected to do. The benefits team ends up doing everything.
The owner who’s become the bottleneck
Someone capable takes on too much. They’re hard to reach, decisions are delayed and progress depends on one person.
The course explains how to recognise and deal with both situations.
