Employee benefits are intended to attract and retain talent that comes in all shapes and sizes. For most employers, these programs are essentially one-size-fits-all. And while insurance and retirement plans are often the “same,” their value to individual employees is much different.
I will go a step further and say that they have become highly inequitable with some employees actually subsidizing the benefits of others. It simply isn’t fair. Employers need to start paying attention to these issues and deliver more equitable programs.
