Six non-negotiable benefits you should negotiate for before accepting your offer letter

Posted on:
Key Points

When negotiating a job offer, it is important to consider all employee benefits besides the salary, such as work-from-home arrangements and flexible schedules, more paid leave, broader health insurance coverage, stock ownership, and a more meaningful job title..

A hybrid remote and office work model is now popular, and instead of following a conventional schedule, flexible ones may be arranged..

Do you want to negotiate for extra time off, work-from-home, company stocks, health insurance that covers your family, membership in a club, or anything else that you feel can help generate a favourable compensation package?..

Asking for an entire week of work-from-home might not convince them, but 2 or 3 days of remote working the rest from in-office may get the job done.. 2) Instead of a 9am-to-5pm schedule, request a flexible schedule..

You can also negotiate for a plan that extends the insurance benefits to your spouse or family members.. 5) Use stock ownership to improve financial health..
