Understanding and utilizing workplace perks is essential for maximizing your employee benefits. Workplace perks can come in various forms, including health insurance, retirement plans, wellness programs, flexible work hours, and more.

For example, some companies offer gym memberships or wellness stipends to encourage employees to prioritize their health. Others provide commuter benefits such as public transportation subsidies or parking discounts to ease the financial burden of getting to work.

Additionally, understanding the intricacies of your health insurance coverage can help you make the most of preventive care services, prescription drug benefits, and mental health resources.
