I work for a CPA firm, 45-50 employees, and we're looking at expanding our benefits package. Right now, we only offer 2 or 3 weeks vacation, 1 week paid sick time, healthcare, 401(k) with profit sharing, and Life/Long-term disability coverage. No dental, no parental leave, no ST disability, no EAP etc.

Could anyone else in this industry, or in another professional services industry, weigh in on what benefits you offer and which ones are most popular?

Thanks all!!

Have you considered issuing an benefits survey to your employees in tandem with figuring out which benefits are industry standard? Could be useful to know what’s most important to your specific company, and depending on whether your organization would like to be employee-centric or not, it may help to know what areas you could go ABOVE industry standard if your ultimate goal is to retain top talent.

Parental leave is a must - can be combined with ST disability.

Very important to know what YOUR employees value and what the talent you want to recruit values, start there.
