2.) White Paper: A Multi-Generational Workforce

Today’s workplace is vastly different from what it was just a few decades ago. Indeed, technology has played the biggest role in shaping today’s offices: from the way we communicate with one another to the ever-growing list of distractions present on the job (hello, social media) to the rising trend of teleworking. However, the very people who embody the workplace – the Millennials, Generation Xers, and Baby Boomers – have arguably played just as substantial a role in shaping it. Each generation has left its mark, and today’s emerging trends (e.g., flexible work hours, expectations of professional development opportunities, etc.) are simply a byproduct of the cultural shift created by the modern-day workforce. In our whitepaper, we evaluate the unique needs of each generation currently in the professional workforce and how companies can offer benefits catered to their unique needs, particularly the types of benefits that universally appeal to and add value to the lives of individuals in each generation.

It’s no surprise that better benefits equate to more fulfilled, better engaged, and happier employees. Such employees are more likely to stay at their jobs and perform well, and such companies not only see higher productivity but an enhanced talent pool, too. This is why increasingly more organizations are turning to voluntary benefits to beef up their benefits offerings. These non-standard perks lend to a more tailored benefits package that better fulfills the many needs present in the workforce. What’s more, some of today’s non-traditional voluntary benefits are pre-tax deductible – a win for both your organization and your employees.

If individuals ignore or snooze on software updates, they are putting their sensitive information at risk of compromise, ransomware attacks, and other digital security threats.
