Another missing benefit opportunity was left missing from the plan. Subsidized day care, an increasingly popular employee benefit, would fit nicely into a benefit plan for the organization. By reimbursing associates for part of child daycare costs, associates would be encouraged to send their children to accredited daycare centers, where children can learn basic skills at a young age. Thus, they would get a head start on their education. The benefit programs at Wal-Mart are very flexible for employees.
Associates can skim the handbook for areas that best satisfy their needs.
The stores' management also does an excellent job of explaining choices to associates, therefore helping them to make good, quality choices. Although this plan is void of many special features, it is the common opinion that it serves the employees very well. Wal-Mart has made a true dedication to provide quality products at low prices to customers. When it comes to benefits, the organization has provided quality benefit packages at low prices to associates. This is the reason that they should remain at the top of the retail hierarchy well into the twenty-first century.
