Enrollment: Advanced signup requested but not required

What’s a 401k and does a match matter? What should you be looking for in healthcare costs, and  what about life insurance, short term disability and dental for those pesky teeth? Can you negotiate vacation or other benefits?

When receiving a job offer, everyone thinks about the salary and maybe the signing bonus…but, what about all the other aspects of an offer? What benefits and other considerations should you be investigating, and what questions do you have about all the small print? Laura Doyle, Senior Manager of Compensation & Benefits, and Amy McNair, Campus Relationship Manager, both from Philips North America, will answer your questions.

Registration requested on CareerBridge.
