Newswise — Named the Best Place to Work in Baltimore three years in a row, LifeBridge Health offers its health care employees a wide range of unique and affordable benefits. These include an adoption benefit, phased-in retirement, free parking (which is rare in metropolitan Baltimore), on-site fitness & health programs, a cafeteria discount and an employee assistance program.
Guy Van Tigglen, Director of Compensation and Benefits for LifeBridge Health is an expert on benefits offered to employees. "We do an adoption benefit, offering cash reimbursement for legal and adoption expenses. That's always a lot of fun, to know that they've gone through a lot of work to adopt a child and give them a better life. We're happy to defray some of their cost."
Phased-in retirement is also popular among employees who are close to retirement age. By helping employees to step-down their hours rather than going from full time to zero hours helps maintain a strong workforce, Van Tigglen explained. The program is for their employees who are at least 60 years old and maintains their benefits at their full-time level. The number of people looking at this benefit eighteen months ago would have been different, he added, acknowledging that changes in the economy have definitely cut back participation.
Free parking is also a well-liked among employees who realize that hospital competitors in the Greater Baltimore area charge employees monthly to park on site.
