Outlining Web designers at Gap Inc. are complaining about their assignment to develop Web pages describing Gap's employment benefits. Although Gap Inc. offers one of the most comprehensive benefits packages around, the jumble of information has the Web designers totally confused. The benefits programs include health and wellness benefits covering medical, dental, and vision care.
To promote peace of mind among employees and their eligible dependents, Gap offers life insurance, disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and protection against business travel accidents. Another health benefit is a special health care flexible spending account. Gap Inc. also offers a service that allows employees to speak with a registered nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It is called Nurse Line. To prepare for the future, Gap offers a 401(k) plan plus a separate employee stock purchase option. As a "helping hand" to employees, it provides an employee assistance program (EAP) called Life Resources. This is a confidential service that provides counseling resources to help employees and their families cope with personal problems. Gap also offers home loans, moving and relocation assistance, and travel assistance.
One special benefit aimed at career development is the tuition reimbursement plan. Gap also encourages employees to develop their careers through its internal placement program.
Task. As part of the human resources staff at Gap Inc., you've been asked to make sense of the preceding information so that your Web designers can build it into a coherent presentation. Arrange the benefits information into a simple outline with five major headings and a title.
