EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Why employee benefits make smart business sense:

• Save money and time

• Increase the wellness and productivity of your employees

• Be competitive and attract new employees and key talent

• Provide a solid framework for the future

• Form a part of your business’ value proposition

• Increase employee engagement

There are a number of employee benefits and perks that can be valued more than pay raises:

• Health Benefits (ex. medical, dental, life disability insurance)

• Retirement/Pension Plan

• Vacation/Paid Time Off

• Performance Bonus

• Paid Sick Days

• Flexible Schedule (ex. work from home)

• Office Perks (ex. Casual dress, free lunch)

• Employee Development Programs (ex. Professional development, on-the-job training)

• Tuition Reimbursement

• Employee Discounts

• Gym Membership or Wellness Program

• Stock, Stock Options and/or Equity

• Paid Parental Leave (ex. Maternity leave, adoption assistance)

• Child care Assistance (ex. On-site Childcare, Financial Assistance)

• Commuter Assistance (ex. Company shuttle, commuter checks)

• Diversity Program

Next to salary, health benefits coverage is the most important tool in attracting and retaining key staff. 59% of employees would rather keep benefits coverage than receive a $10,000 raise. (2011 Sanofi-Aventis Healthcare survey)
