As Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach, many retailers and service provides are offering amazing deals and promotions to kick off the holiday shopping season. In fact, this is a great time for all consumers to save money during the time of the year when they spend the most.
As a Human Resources administrator or someone involved in your company’s benefits, Black Friday and Cyber Monday should also prompt you to think hard about how you have helped your employees save money this year. Do you offer group rates on voluntary benefits like home and auto insurance? Do you offer financial protection options such as a legal plan or identity theft solutions? Do you offer discounts year-round to your employees such as 10% off at Target.com, 5% off at Southwest Vacations, and 20% off at FTD.com?
As the war for talent continues over the next several years, industry-leading companies and Human Resources departments will be able to confidently answer these questions.
