Revolutionizing Paid Time Off

Now more than ever, we know that life comes at us fast. Employees will stay at companies that understand that and give them the resources they need through the tough times (and also to enjoy the fun times!) Unlimited PTO is a common way employers attempt to give employees flexibility, but it often results in the opposite. Convertible benefits, however, allow employees to self-direct their benefits to meet their individual needs.  Rob Whalen has led a business for the last 11 years that specializes in allowing employees to use their PTO the way they want to. He joins Arnette Heintze on America Back to Work to discuss how flexible benefits make for happier employees who stick around longer, and how best to offer them.
