Benefits and Services 。。。。

Nowadays, benefits and services that provided by companies or organizations considered as an attractable and noticeable issue. This is because around the competitive organizations, whether they are big or small, international or local companies, with benefits and services packages will be able to attract large pool of employees to join, particularly in provided benefits on health care, disability insurance and so on. General speaking, benefits and services packages are differing among companies according to culture, law, either private or government-based companies. Besides, benefits and services that provide may vary also depend on the employee’s position. The employees’ benefits that provided are mostly in type of insurance which consist of vacation, medical, bonuses, dental, maternity leave especially for pregnancy employees and so on.

            There are several types of common benefits we can identify which consist of pay for time not worked benefits, insurance benefits, retirement services, employees’ services benefits, flexible benefits program and so on. Other than benefits that required under law, flexible benefits also provided by some of the companies for younger employees, for example cafeterias plans. Moreover, both unemployment compensation and worker compensation are government-mandated based (types of employee benefits with law) where paid to employees with different purposes. Besides, group life insurance is also common or widely insurance that provide by most of firms, such as medical and disability insurance. Another wide known benefit is Pension-like retirement benefit which provides employees with an income after they retired. However, not all the companies are offered this type of pension for those who retired. In addition, pregnancy is the most common reason for seeking the pregnancy leave. For some of the companies, they will offer 60 days, 3 months or more than that for those who leave for pregnancy. For some of the companies, on leave pregnancy women can come for meeting anytime if they want to (updating latest version of information regarding their company).

       

          For my opinion, parental leave is one of the services that beneficial for employees where company will provide either unpaid or paid leave for those who must take time off for parental matters, such as newborn child or elder care programs which prevalence in U.S. It is important to establish culture of balancing work and family life in company which employees might be given fully commitment towards company achieve the high setting goals. This can lead to high rate of retention. In addition, other than wages and salaries, benefits and services that provided by companies can attract employees and stay without increase salaries.
