Today's diverse workforce demands flexibility - a "one size fits all" approach to employee benefits is no longer appropriate. In addition, employers are challenged to find a way to contain health care costs without risking employee satisfaction. The solution? Flexible benefit programs. Now in a new third edition, Canadian Handbook of Flexible Benefits offers everything organizations need to know about designing, implementing, communicating, and administering a successful flexible benefits program.

The 2007 Handbook is equally relevant to employers introducing a new plan and to those looking for insight and direction on maintaining an existing program. This edition answers the question "What's new in flex?" and includes updated information as well as completely new material covering:

retiree flexible benefit programs,

maintaining and revitalizing an existing plan

flex for executives,

special considerations for specific provinces,

case studies of companies that have successfully implemented flexible benefits,

flexible benefit developments in eight countries on five continents.
