What are Education Benefits?
Even though education benefits are popularly conceived as strategic tools for organizations to attract, retain, and develop talent; they are still frequently used synonymously with Tuition assistance or reimbursement. This cannot be further from the truth. These programs address the workforce’s upskilling needs while helping organizations achieve their goals of fostering internal mobility, building leadership pipelines, and enhancing employee satisfaction, but that doesn’t define the full scope of education benefits.
While tuition reimbursement provides financial support, academic advising equips your employees with the tools to navigate their educational journeys effectively. Academic advising speaks to the challenges faced by working adults meeting learners where they are in their journeys by helping your employees select suitable programs, transfer credits, set academic goals, and stay on track to achieve them. This especially benefits the population with Some College No Credentials (SCNC). With the rising cost of education and the widespread impact of student loan debt, offering student loan assistance is a forward-thinking strategy for attracting and retaining top talent. This benefit allows employers to contribute directly to an employee’s student loan repayments through monthly or one-time payments. Scholarships are another impactful addition to any education benefit portfolio. Employers can design scholarship programs tailored to their workforce, targeting diverse populations, high-performing employees, dependents, or even prospective hires.
As an HR leader, you’re likely familiar with the idea of education benefits. However, understanding the variety, implementation strategies, and broader impact of these offerings can help you design a program that offers a unique competitive edge. Let’s explore the different types of education benefits, their advantages, and the tax implications that make them a win-win for both employers and employees.
