From the blog: One of the first questions I ask when I start a new job is: “What are the employee benefits?”
I remember once being directed to an alphabetical list of benefits on the intranet, to be greeted with information on the benevolent fund and death in service. I had to scroll down a long way before I finally got to ‘P’ for pension.
A list of benefits is just that – a list. They make no sense jumbled up without explanation. Employee benefits are expensive and, if not valued or used, could be a waste of money.
