MOST VALUED EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

It's quite likely you take for granted the benefits your employer gives you, but don't do that. They could be worth as much as one-third of your salary. When employees were asked which benefit they most value, the No. 1 answer given by 76 percent of respondents was, not surprisingly, health insurance. But beyond that, what benefits and perks do we value the most? Glassdoor.com conducted an employee confidence survey and asked this question of full-time and part-time U.S. workers.
