Small Business Glossary and Definitions

Non-Traditional Employee Benefits are benefits that employees are given that are not related to health and medical care, insurance, or pension contributions. Those traditional benefits have long been offered to employees by employers, but non-traditional benefits break that mold and think outside the box. Examples of non-traditional employee benefits being offered in business today include employee wellness programs or child care assistance. Non-traditional employee benefits are one way for an organization to show staff that they understand the challenges they face and are willing to compensate them on the terms of the staff.
