Business Question

Building on the last discussion, conduct research to identify examples of innovative benefit practices. A great example is SAS, Inc. A useful starting point is an Internet search using phrases such as “best companies to work for.” What are some of the more innovative benefits practices that you found? Search for research articles examining any two of these innovative benefits. What did you find about their influence on employee retention, engagement, or satisfaction? Beyond those three outcomes how are employee benefits being used in a broader strategic sense. For instance, how might we use out benefits to reflect the type of organizational culture we want our employees to experience.

Now, imagine you hold a decision-making position for an organization. We are in what we believe to be at least a 3 year slow down. How might you suggest making adjustments to our benefits offering that brings the best in cost reduction but the least in terms of damage to morale?
