Employee benefits can include employee insurance coverage (medical, life, dental, disability, unemployment and worker's compensation), paid leave and holidays, and contributions to retirement plans, as well as a host of other "fringe benefits" that are valuable to attract and retain staff in a competitive hiring environment. Offering too many or too few, benefits can throw a nonprofit's budget, programs-and ultimately its mission-off course. Attend this Webinar to hear from a benefits expert about emerging trends in nonprofit benefits and how to reduce risks related to your employees' participation in your nonprofit's benefits package.
