The primary considerations when evaluating the various plan options for offering health insurance to employees are the benefit to employees of the various plan types as well as the cost to the employer for offering the various plans (I am assuming you are not considering self-insuring since your organization is relatively small). Generally speaking, PPO and high deductible plans have steadily increased in popularity with employees, which may be an indication that employees perceive more benefit from these types of plans than from HMO and POS plans. Employers typically contribute less to high deductible and POS plans, than to PPO and HMO plans. The Kaiser Family Foundations 2014 Employer Health Benefits Survey provides a wealth of information that may be useful to you in comparing the average costs of the various plan types to your business and your employees as well as coverage trends and more.

Typically a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) is designed as a replacement for, or a supplement to, a stock option incentive plan. LTIPs may involve stock awards, cash compensation, or both (private companies typically award cash while public companies typically award stock). LTIPs are typically based on one or more long term goals in a company's strategic plan, such as a long term profit target, and function over the same time horizon as the strategic plan (i.e. 3 to 5 years). LTIP awards may be vested over time or paid in full at or sometime after the measurement period. If designed well, the performance targets that determine the amount of the LTIP award require employees to consistently increase shareholder value over multiple years in order to maximize their LTIP award (such as delivering a certain amount of cumulative revenue and profit over multiple years). However, there are many examples of poorly designed LTIPs that amount to little more than a deferred bonus plan that is entirely dependent on annual performance and not impacted by cumulative performance over multiple years.

The popularity of stack ranking has declined dramatically over the last several years - largely attributed to negative impact on employee morale as seen in the cases of GE and Microsoft ending the practice. However, there are some advantages of the stack ranking approach to managing employee performance. According to the CEO of Nielsen Holdings, stack ranking forces honest conversations between managers and employees rather than allowing managers to avoid difficult discussions about needed performance improvements (check out the Fortune article). Also, stack ranking provides a structured approach for organizations that need to reduce their workforce - as in the case described by the HBR article on Yahoo's use of the practice (which also goes into the disadvantages of stack ranking).
