#118 | It’s benefits season! So how do you pick the right ones?
In this week’s episode, we get ready for benefits enrollments, which happens at most companies each fall, by discussing what plans are typically available to colleagues and how to pick the right ones. We combine topics we have covered in previous episodes into a single benefits crash course. First, we break down how medical insurance works, what considerations to think about, and how to select the right plan. We then dig into all of the different types of benefits your company, such as critical care insurance, life insurance, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flex Spending Accounts (FSAs), Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (DCFSAs), Deferred Compensation Plans or 457Bs, employee stock discount programs, and other discount programs.
