NEW YORK, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- COBRA
administration, Clarity Benefit Solutions, provides benefits to
offer a multi-generational workforce.
There's no doubt that today's workforce encompasses many
generations—baby boomers (born between 1946-1964), Gen Xers
(1965-1981), millennials (1981-1994), and Generation Z (born after
1995). Businesses that employ most or all these types of employees
may face a multitude of challenges when it comes to their benefits
offerings. After all, such a multigenerational environment has
diverse needs when it comes to health and wellness benefits.
Therefore, it is vital to have a clear strategy in mind to meet
employee needs.
Regardless of age, the following are the most common benefits
employees seek: health insurance, dental/vision coverage, wellness
programs, financial wellness packages, group life insurance,
flexible work arrangements, and vacation time. Employers should
focus on all employees' physical and emotional well-being for
healthier, happier employees, which will result in a more
profitable bottom line. The following tips will help ensure the
needs of all generations are met.
- Design wellness programs that transcend all generations.
Most employees want to improve themselves regardless of age.
Provide offerings such as fitness programs, career training, weight
loss programs, and methods to quit smoking. Survey employees to
find out which specific programs they are looking for.
- Foster a mentoring program. Typically, younger employees
learn the tricks of the trade from older, more experienced
employees. That said, businesses can turn the tables and let the
younger employees teach their seasoned mentors about all things
social media as well as advances in technology. Both generations
mentoring each other results in a nurturing work environment and
prepares tomorrow's leaders.
- Identify each generation's unique needs. Each generation
will have different demands. Baby boomers are caring for both
children and aging parents while millennials have a strong desire
to work remotely, and Gen Xers want the very latest in technology
to further their careers. Forward-thinking employers will find a
way to not only accommodate these diverse desires but incorporate
health and wellness initiatives while doing it.
