Employee Benefits

When competition is high to hire employees, it is an advantageous to offer as many employee benefits as you can in order to stand above your competition. While some companies can’t offer as many financial benefits, other non-financial benefits are just as important for employees. Below is a list of ideas of both financial and non-financial benefits you could offer your employees.

• Health insurance (including dental & vision, available for partners & dependents)

• 401(k) (matching if possible)

• FSA

• Life insurance

• Stock options

• Company stock

• Cell phone stipend

• Internet stipend

• Home office stipend

• Coworking stipend

• Wellness stipend

• Continuing education stipend

• Commuter benefits

• Bonuses (dependent on company & personal performance)

• WFH flexibility (or hybrid)

• Flexible working hours (including start / end times)

• Free food at the office (lunch, snacks, beverages, etc.)

• Unlimited vacation (or generous vacation amount)

• Birthday holiday

• Winter / summer breaks (usually between Christmas and New Years Day and the week of the July 4th)

Try to be creative with what you can offer your employees. Employees are a company’s biggest asset, so it is important to make sure they are happy and feel taken care of.
