What Bert Has To Say About Washington-Arlington-Alexandria Metro Area. It would be an understatement to say that the nationâs capital is a unique place. The centrally located National Mall is an urban planning gem, with excellent open spaces, walking paths, and major monuments in a classic architectural style.
The MetLifeÂ® study reveals that employers and employees have different expectations from benefits. Because of this, employers often underestimate the importance of benefits to their employees. Figure 2 shows that, outside of their wages, employees most value health insurance, retirement products and other insurance. In other words, they place the highest value on the benefits that impact their personal and financial well-being.
Employee benefits are optional, non-wage compensation provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. These types of benefits may include group insurance (health, dental, vision, life etc.), disability income protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-paid), funding of education, as well as flexible and alternative work arrangements.
