Question: Health care organizations strive to sustain competitive advantage by offering attractive benefits aimed at improving their ability to attract and retain workers. Therefore, the pressure to provide voluntary benefits is significant for health care organizations. Demonstrate or explain one's knowledge of the array of voluntary benefits available to attract and retain health care workers.

Benefits are part of total compensation. Some benefits such as Social Security and Medicare Part A, unemployment compensation, and workers' compensation are mandatory. However, health care organizations have voluntary benefit options available that can competitively differentiate them from others.

- Review the chapter reading on employee benefits and the articles and discuss briefly why organizations offer more than the mandatory benefits.

- Choose two voluntary benefits that one believe will differentiate any health care organization. Provide supporting rationale (outside peer reviewed/professional source) for why each chosen benefit is a competitive lever for recruiting, hiring, and retaining employees.
