When is the last time you reviewed your benefits?

The Challenge

Rustle up your new hire paperwork from wherever it is you stashed it when you first started your job. (If you don’t have them anymore, HR is likely to be able to give you a copy.) Put aside 20 minutes today to review the befits your organization offers, and highlight anything you had forgotten about or would like to make better use of.


Why do this?

While more companies are offering competitive benefits these days, they can be notoriously difficult to wade through. (By the way, if you noticed that this challenge is similar to another one you've done, you're right. It is! We developed a series dedicated to understanding your benefits, and this challenge is part of that series.

Fully understanding your benefits will help you get the most out of them during your tenure at your company.
