Expanding Workers' Benefits to Spouses and Children
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on October 12, 2021, 9:15 PMNow, due to scarcity of workers in the United States, companies are open to provide benefits to workers' spouses and children, in addition, of course, to the workers. That is amazing indeed.
The tight labor market has forced companies across industries to get competitive in the "war for talent," and some are largely focusing on educational incentives. Earlier this year, JBS USA, the country's largest meatpacker, began offering to subsidize two-year college degrees for its 66,000 employees. Similarly, Waste Management said it will pay for workers to earn bachelor's or associate degrees and has started to expand the benefit to its workers' spouses and children.
