When it comes to employee benefits, the traditional models offered by organisations for decades have been left behind. Today, the various types of flexible benefits that exist have allowed companies to create much more effective and practical plans for both sides.

What are flexible benefits?

Before learning about the six main types of flexible benefits, you first need to understand what a flexible benefits system actually is. It is nothing more than a unifier. 

It offers companies the possibility of giving employees a single card that contains all the value allocated to the most varied benefits available. This is practical for the teams, for the companies and, best of all, it generates satisfaction.

The 6 types of flexible benefits to implement

Now that you understand more about it, it's time to learn about five of the types of flexible benefits you can offer your employees:

1. food: there is no need to restrict employees to using only a generic food stamp card, which doesn't work everywhere and brings more frustration than satisfaction. With a flexible benefits system it is possible to choose to spend in restaurants, deliverys, supermarkets, bakeries, grocery stores, kiosks and much more;
2. transport: what if your employee doesn't use public transport to get to work? He can use his car (and the fuel and parking that come built in), a bicycle, carpooling app or even electric scooter. Flexibility in this sphere is more than necessary;
3. health: the health plan is one of the great golds of benefits, for its high added value. But even within the existing plans, there are specificities for each need. Not to mention the possibility of therapy sessions, various exams, dentists, pharmacies and countless other health-related expenses;
4. education: how about offering a credit so that it is possible to take courses and training, attend a lecture and better qualify the teams? It is a great way to ensure that the work is performed with excellence;
5. culture: going to the theatre, watching a film, a concert, buying books. There is a sea of possibilities;
6. home office aid: the pandemic has accelerated the process of spreading the remote working model. The home office is already a reality for many companies, and will remain so even after the pandemic. The home office aid allows the employee to choose to pay the internet bill, the energy, invest in an ergonomic chair or even buy a mousepad.
