Employee benefits is an area of financial planning not many people understand even though their companies offer this. Being able to educate members and help them to understand what their benefits mean is a highlight of this job. Employee benefits can also be customised to meet the specific needs of an organisation and its employees, it doesn’t and often shouldn’t have to be a “one size fits all” approach.
