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.
