Benjamin Franklin once said:
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
Though the sentiment still rings true today, it’s the students who are
now paying the interest, and often at great costs.
Four reasons why you should offer Employee Education Benefits
 |
Fits all Sizes and Budgets |
| There’s a solution for every budget. Employers are often hesitant to add programs as they are deemed too expensive. There are many options to create a student loan or tuition reimbursement program that not only works for your employees but also for your bottom line. | |
 |
Your Competitors are doing it |
|
Don’t lose out on good talent because of benefits. Employers are developing innovative programs to help ease the financial burden of education – and prospective employees are taking notice of that in their overall benefits package. Just over half of US employers provide tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement programs. |
|
 |
Financial Wellbeing = Happy Employees |
| Having a student loan repayment, tuition reimbursement option, or other type of financial wellness program added to the benefits offerings will help give your employee’s peace of mind at work. Both employers and employees have reported higher satisfaction with their benefit plans when financial wellness is offered. Helping your employees with their financial concerns will not only help reduce their financial burden, but you’ll be reducing their stress and anxiety and increasing their focus and productivity at work, leading to healthier, happier employees. | |
 |
Tax Deduction |
| Education benefits can also be affordable for employers. When administered properly, benefits that cover educational costs can be tax-free for the employee and remain a business deduction for the organization. |
Tuition Reimbursement and Student Loan Repayment
Providing an Employee Education Benefit helps employees pay for continuing their education. Tuition assistance allows for the flexibility of employees to continue their education.
Tuition reimbursement benefits require that employees pay the cost of their tuition initially and the employer reimburses all or part of the tuition. Once the employee completes their courses with an adequate GPA, the employer will reimburse them for a portion of the tuition cost. With student loan repayment, the employer helps to pay existing student loans their employee may have.
