Volume C on Employee Benefits brings readers through a wide array of employee and leave benefits, both mandatory and discretionary including medical, dental, transport, insurance, overseas posting incentives, long service awards, flexible benefits and more. Employee benefits do much to convey an organisation's total employee value proposition. The design of benefits requires astute judgment; in showing empathy for employees' needs, it must also be deliberate and purposeful to steer employee behaviours and incisive to exact a return for the organisation. Installing a new benefit is easy; unwinding one is less straightforward. Are benefits being appreciated? What are the potential abuses? Are there better and more cost-effective solutions? Are flexible benefits or the clean wage system the way to go? These will be discussed to help readers gain insights into the realm of employee benefits.
