prevail?• If so, then must people be paid to do
everything? When do they sacrifice self-interest for organizational interest?

Cost issues• Do Benefits pay for themselves?
Costs/benefits ratio. How do you determine?
• Increasing trend towards results• Getting into the rankings
Reducing claims

preventative medicine-- smoke enders, weight watchers, free shots

are modest cost.
Who offers• Unions• Larger employers• Industry• Corporate image
Benefits of Benefits• Does it help?
Problems with Benefits• Employee backlash especially family
benefits.• Not clear that benefits have much
impact on recruitment unless clearly one of the 100 best places to work or equivalent in a region. Some evidence for retention. Would the money best be put elsewhere?
Will these go away in times of high
unemployment

seasonal sales. Evidence is clear that sales is more than double if return. How to increase retention through benefits.
