Employee Benefits Administration Company, Clarity Benefit Solutions, Discusses the Benefits that Matter Most to Gen X

NEW YORK, June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Employee benefits administration company, Clarity Benefit Solutions, discusses the benefits that matter most to Gen X.

Generation X—those adults born between1965 and 1979—are highly experienced workers who are extremely interested in achieving a work/life balance. The following are benefits that matter the most to them.

A flexible work schedule. Flex time is a top priority for Gen X, as many are not only raising children, but caring for elderly parents. Allowing them to set their own hours will enable them to schedule their work around doctor's appointments, school, events, visits, and illness.

Wellness programs. As mentioned, Gen X is extremely busy trying to juggle children, elderly parents, their own health, and their careers. Forward-thinking employers recognize that employees' physical and mental well-being is a priority, and will establish programs such as gym memberships, exercise classes, dietary/nutrition support, and mental health support.

A competitive salary. With this age group, competitive pay is a must, so Gen X can effectively meet their responsibilities such as owning a home, raising children, and ultimately preparing for retirement.

Paid time off (PTO). Since Gen X works so tirelessly to achieve the proper work/life balance, PTO in the form of vacation and personal time is of paramount importance.

Opportunities for advancement. As more baby boomers prepare for retirement, Gen X should be the generation that takes the leadership reins. Employers should offer coaching/mentoring sessions and/or leadership seminars to groom Gen X to tackle these leadership roles.

Financial protection/education. Gen X faces a myriad of financial responsibilities and pressures, such as paying the mortgage and medical costs associated with injury and illness. As financial stresses increase, employers should respond in kind with financial education in the workplace—to not only help them manage their current finances, but also put a plan in place for the future.

Investment in their future. Speaking of retirement, progressive employers will realize that Gen X is looking ahead with the intent of having a fulfilling retirement. Employers should have a 401(k) plan with matching benefits
