Employees are unhappy with current benefits offerings, however, expressing their displeasure with the lack of flexibility. The company is small, with between 16 and 50 employees. Executives and senior managers at your company are very cost-conscious. Leadership has indicated that the company wants to be more competitive.

You have been asked to determine what changes you would make to the current offerings. Your task is to draft a new benefit plan for the company (a list detailing for each type of benefit, what employees will receive – it should look similar to the above but with whatever changes you feel are appropriate). Explain why any changes are being made and what is expected to happen as a result of changing that benefit (example: this will cost the company slightly more money but should increase employee satisfaction).
