New guide to voluntary benefits

Voluntary benefits have become all the rage because they are seen as a low-cost way of improving morale and raising appreciation of the benefits package. But just how effective are voluntary benefits? The latest issue of Employee Benefits magazine looks at the pros and cons.

Here's how Employee Benefits defines voluntary benefits: A scheme set up by the employer with other organisations or through a provider, which the employee can join on a voluntary basis. The employee pays for the benefits on preferential terms which have been negotiated by the employer.
