Tap into benefits that help employees pursue their dreams
Many employers today offer voluntary Work-Life Employee Benefits Plans (also known as Lifestyle Benefits) to make a positive impact on employees’ quality of life while also helping organizations to recruit and retain top workers. These benefits are designed to make the life employees live – especially time outside of work – even more enjoyable.
We’re proud to partner with companies as their Work-Life Employee Benefits administrator. As with all Optum Financial accounts, we assist participants with fast payments, excellent customer service, and friendly technology. Explore the benefits programs we offer to learn more about how we can assist you.
