Once people land a job with a competitive benefits package, it’s easy for some to forget to make the most of it. This period of high inflation may be a good time for employees to assess and take advantage of their benefits. That could look like using learning stipends, maxing out 401(k)s or asking for a pay raise.

Making smart choices about these benefits can put more money into an employee’s pocket.
