Outcome Health, a Chicago-based health information provider, has rolled out a new customized benefits package for its employees.
The “Care@ Outcome Health” package includes benefits from seven key pillars — health, time away, finance, family, convenience, learning and growth and community — as dictated by the firm’s employees in a survey.
Outcome Health’s 600 employees can pick and choose which benefits work for them and customize their package without any limits, explains Madan Nagaldinne, Outcome Health’s chief people officer.
“These benefits are not tradeable for cash,” he says. “They’re designed for creating an impact in your life.”

“When you customize a benefits package like this, it’s going to increase the cost for the employer,” says Nagaldinne.
However, he says employers are likely to see increased gains for their brand and attraction rates as well as retention and engagement among employees.

“The combination of being mission-led and data-led and having a great broker resonated with the C-suite,” he says.
Outcome Health’s benefits package will be effective immediately.
