Concept and brief description:
Other types of benefits such as various kinds of insurance, retirement plans, and paid leave are optional benefit plans that a company can offer. The most widely offered benefits are paid leave, life and medical insurance, and retirement plans. Additional benefits, or optional benefits, can be a great way to compete in the market to recruit more applicants for positions.
Emotional hook (provocative question/ claim/real-life problem):
My husband just recently got a new job which has wonderful benefits. Our last job did not have any benefits and as a family it created problems and concerns. Being with the present company is a great benefit to us and strengthens our loyalty to the company. A company that not only does the minimum but goes above the normal criteria to take care of its employees creates a stronger work force, more dedicated to the company.
Key points to elicit in discussion:
There are several optional benefit programs: from flexible spending accounts to early retirement. Small gestures, additional benefits, a company makes allows a greater competitive advantage for recruiting and more devoted employees. A company that takes care of its employees has a lower turn over rate and therefore less costs, providing more profit and greater productivity.
Facilitative questions:
In your opinion, how do you feel additional/optional benefits affect a company and its employees?
