Benefits professionals and the Internet: a case study of benefits-L subscribers

Article Abstract:

The continued success of a list server environment for benefits professionals (benefits-L), which was founded in Jan 1995, is studied to determine whether it substituted for traditional benefits media or created unique electronic niches. From an online survey of list subscribers assessing the demographics of the list service population and the use of the service, it was found that benefits professionals need to learn the technical use of lists and the creative ways of delivering benefits content through the Internet. Meanwhile, although online services are not used as a substitute for traditional services, lists such as this are used for niches of inquiry uniquely available in the list server environment.

Health care spending accounts: a flexible solution for Canadian employers

Article Abstract:

Flexible benefits have not been as successful in Canada as in the US. Only around 20% of Canadian employers offer some form of flexible benefits, while around 40% are considering the option. Reasons for hesitating to adopt flexible benefits include the perception that the Income Tax Act does not directly tackle flexible benefit plans and the perception that such plans entail additional administration costs. Employers are resorting to health care spending accounts to introduce their organizations to the concept of flexible benefits.
