Special Benefits (discounts to employees).

[Guest Alyona5]

Our firm would like to offer special benefits to our employees such as discounts on entertainment, cell phones, health clubs, yoga, etc. It should be at no cost to the employer. Does anyone know where I can look for such services?

Alyona:

We recently joined ESM (Employee Services Management), a non-profit association that provides discounted goods and services to their members. Check out www.esmassn.org to find out about their programs. We belong to both the National and our Local organization. We get discounts on many attractions in the area, as well as good and services across the country and very specific ones here in our city.

Our local group provides discounts for all of the items you listed!

If you have outside insurance, check with your carrier to see if they provide any discount programs to their members. Both of our carriers have various discounts on health clubs, alternative care, glasses, etc.

If your employees are geographically close, organizations such as health clubs, may be willing to offer "group rates".
