The Voluntary Benefits Association and the Voluntary Benefits Magazine are launching a joint initiative in publishing the first Voluntary Benefits book dedicated specifically for employers and HR Professionals.

This will be the largest distributed book for HR Professionals who have voluntary benefits in place or are interested in implementing them. The book - entitled Voluntary Benefits-the Key to Employee Productivity and Happiness- will define industry growth by providing resources to help employers make more informed decisions regarding the Voluntary Benefits Programs they are implementing.   The necessity for a quintessential guide geared for the employer perspective, has led to the national search for leading experts in the industry. We are looking for authors to assist us in developing content for each other chapters in the “Voluntary Benefits” book.
