Family-Friendly Benefits

Each month on Talking Benefits, I join Julie Stich, Kelli Kolsrud and Justin Held, International Foundation benefits nerdthusiasts, to discuss a trending employee benefits topic we think our listeners want to know more about. This month’s episode fell right between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, so the team tackled the topic of family-friendly employee benefits.

Family-Friendly Employee Benefits

Family-friendly benefits (paid leave, fertility treatments, work/life balance, etc.) aren’t a new trend in benefits, but the variety of family-friendly benefit offerings is.
