human resources/benefits Tip #8: Help Your Employees Find Great Vehicles and Auto Loans
Since almost everyone needs a car at one time or another, offering your employees ways to find their new “ride” through known and safe channels can be an added bonus. Many credit unions offer online car buying programs such as AutoSMART.
You can access this convenient service from your desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone and it lets your employees easily research, finance and locate their next new or used vehicle locally. They can even value and post an advertisement to sell their current vehicle while they search for another one to replace it. Plus, they will have access to motorcycles, power sport vehicles, RVs and trailers, power boats, personal watercraft and commercial trucks.
Tip #9: Provide Employees with Retirement and Investment Options
In addition to all of the services listed previously, many credit unions offer securities and investment advisory services to help employees achieve their financial goals through companies like Voya Financial Advisors, Inc.
These investment companies offer no cost, no obligation initial meetings. They realize that every employee is unique and has different scenarios for retiring, different risk tolerance for investing, and different short- and longterm needs for their retirement plan; whether they choose to buy stocks, bonds, property, annuities, or other investment options. Tip #10: Offer Your Employees Insurance Options
Just about every employee could use insurance benefits as well. That’s why most credit unions offer a range of insurance plans. These typically include auto insurance for your vehicles, homeowners or rental insurance for where your employees live, affordable life insurance coverage options to protect their family, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance in the case of a tragic, unexpected accident. ru Gil Zeimer is a freelance copywriter with over 25 years of experience.
