In today's multi-generational workforce, one-size-fits-all employee benefits are no longer effective strategies.

Rolling out benefits programs based solely on personal experience risks missing entire groups of employees who don't happen to share challenges with those making the decisions.

"So what we want to do is try to provide a wide variety of benefits that can cater to those differing needs."
