Abstract
How can an employer convince an employee who may have to spend $20-120 a month for benefits (previously paid by the employer) that the expenditure makes sense? United Hospitals confronted the issue head-on when it began its flex benefits program. The company made flex work by involving managers in planning and developing an extensive communication program.
