Flexible benefits are not new. As a concept, flexible benefit schemes (also known as ’cafeteria benefits’ or ’flex plan’) have been around for about two decades.

David Simmonds’ book focuses on the blend between theory and practice. It will not be (merely) a ’how-to’ set of checklists for operational practitioners, nor (just) an academic review of the literature for strategic managers. Instead, each chapter will specifically combine the relevant thinking with appropriate real-life evidence, through the use of pedagogical features.
