“Many people associate workplace DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] with employee resource groups, diverse employee populations, and inclusive hiring practices, but it’s equally important for companies to evaluate their employee benefits…,” writes Jaclyn Chen for the World Economic Forum. “Traditional one-size-fits-all benefits packages are not designed for today’s diverse workforce. With a customized and flexible program, employers can meet a wider set of needs.”

In the article at https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/09/employee-benefits-diversity/, Chen reviews the particular needs of Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers.
