Additionally benefits to offer employees include Group Term Life (GTL) insurance, which provides financial protection to employees' beneficiaries in the event of death, and Long-Term Disability (LTD) and Short-Term Disability (STD) insurance, which offer income replacement in case of extended illness or injury. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-advantaged options that allow employees to set aside funds for medical expenses.
Total rewards - Beyond compensation and benefits, total rewards encompasses various elements aimed at enhancing employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall well-being. Total Rewards could include longevity programs, recognition programs, Paid Time Off (PTO), tuition reimbursement, school loan payment assistance programs, and much more.
