How to Evaluate Benefits Before Taking a New Job

How to Evaluate Benefits Before Taking a New JobHow to Evaluate Benefits Before Taking a New JobOutside of starting salaries, corporate cultures, and other work perks employee benefits are something that all professionals must take into careful consideration when conducting a job search. Because there are so many different types of benefit plans, such as medical, life, retirement, and voluntary products out there, it can be difficult to put the total compensation offered by an employer into perspective. This is why its important to carefully evaluate the competitive employee benefits package and understand how they can best help you reach your rolleal health and financial needs. As you traverse a job search, here are the most common elements that employee benefit plans include General Employee Benefit Coverage Limits When considering the benefits offered by a new employer, think about the monthly or pay period costs that you will be responsible for and what the employer agrees to cover. Even if the premiums are deducted from your paycheck pre-tax, this can impact your annual salary and take home pay. Be sure that you understand how much of a cut this will be. Youll also want to note the annual out of pocket deductible, which could be as high as $10K per person for a high deductible health care plan until you know how much your insurance will actually pay medical costs. You will want to know when coverage dates start, when they end upon resignation, and if there are any penalties of waiting until the annual open enrollment period instead of upon hire. If you have medical coverage currently, you may want to see if the job offer comes with a better plan or if you are better off waiting to utilize your annual out of pocket deductible this year. This can be especially important if you anticipate an expensive medical procedure coming up or the birth of a child. Understand Medical and Voluntary Plan Rules Each medical and voluntary plan will have its own speci al set of coverage and usage rules. There are also many different plan types, such as Health Maintenance Organizations and Preferred Provider Options. You may be able to use the same doctors and health care centers you have now if they are in network. But if they arent, you may be asked to choose a new primary care provider and switch to a new health care network. Keep in mind that some plans may be limited in the types of services offered, such as routine care vs. mental health care. Some plans offer free preventative care to cover things like mammograms, flu shots, and more. Not all plans include access to discounted prescription benefits. Before you accept these benefits, consult with the human resource director to get more information on plan limitations, and rules. Get Information on Company Matched Retirement Plans When deciding on taking a job or not, understanding if the company offers any kind of financial planning benefits like a retirement savings plan, stock investme nts, disability insurance, and other forms of financial protection. Some companies match employee donations dollar-for-dollar (free money), while others put a portion of the company earnings into a special account for each employee. Consider the percentage requirements for retirement plans and if this is voluntary or a mandatory program. Some companies require that all employees participate in retirement savings plans, deducting as much as 5 percent of the gross salary each month to fund this. Also, in your job search, be mindful of how much the company matches contributions and what the cut-off is. Learn About the Paid Time Off Benefits Most companies want to maintain a healthy and happy workforce, so outside of regular medical benefits, they will offer additional perks such as generous paid time off policies. This is something you should look at to see if you have to wait to use this benefit or if the paid days off are immediately available to you. Consider also if you will ha ve any special needs for time off this year, such as a pre-scheduled vacation or taking maternity leave, before accepting a job offer. A word to the wise - be sure to measure any benefits offered by a potential new company against those offered by your spouses plan. You may be better off switching over to that plan due to costs or coverage benefits.

The Teflon Mind How to let go of the past

The Teflon Mind How to let go of the pastThe Teflon Mind How to let go of the pastIf you realize that all things change, there is bedrngnislagelagehing you will try to hold on to. - Lao TzuWhy cant I just move on?Everyone tells you let go. It sounds so simple, right? Yet, you cant stop holding on to the past. A grudge, a bad experience, or a betrayal - no matter how long ago they happened, sad memories stick with us forever.Reliving a story is like being hurt twice or thrice - remembering your suffering creates more suffering. So why do we do it?In some weird way, its fulfilling. We construct our heroified version of what happened. Those stories do more than fill the void - theyve become part of who you are. Memories have adhered to your identity you cant remove them no matter how hard you try.Lets be honest letting go is not easy. But you can train yourself to avoid sad memories from getting stuck. You need to develop a Teflon Mind.Why we create (more) sufferingIt is mental slav ery to cling to things that have stopped serving its purpose in your life. - Chinonye J. ChidolueYou cant change the past, so why continue to perpetuate it?The more you try to understand what happened, the more harm you cause. Rehashing sad memories adds unnecessary suffering to your suffering.You feel like a hamster in the wheel - no matter how hard you try, you cant make any progress.According to Professor Clifford Nass at Stanford University, The brain handles positive and negative information in different hemispheres. Negative emotions generally involve more thinking, and the information is processed more thoroughly than positive ones. Thus, we tend to ruminate more about unpleasant events - and use stronger words to describe them - than happy ones.However, blaming everything on our brain could be an easy way out. We cannot change what happened, but we have control of the stories we tell ourselves about what happened.1. We want to be the heroWeve all been hurt. Its sad and e mbarrassing - no one wants to look weak. Thats why we construct our version of what happened one that will make us look good. But blaming others can leave you powerless - you still expect other to repair the pain they caused, but they wont.2. We let others define usThe only thing in life under your control is how you behave. What others do (to you) is out of bounds, you cant do much about it. Focusing on what others did is a distraction - rather than trying to understand others behaviors, put your energy on what you can do to move on.3. We cant forgive ourselvesAll your feelings are legitimate. However, blaming is a two-way street - when we cant forgive others is because we cant forgive ourselves too. Others did something wrong but, deep inside, we believe we did something wrong to cause it. When we feel guilty, it becomes harder to move on.Eckhart Tolle said, There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. You can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on. It is called forgiving yourself. 4. The past becomes who we areMany people identify their sense of self with the problems they have or think they have. According to Eckhart Tolle, people create and maintain problems because they give them a sense of identity. Our stories are part of our experience but are not who we are. Letting go of a past story makes space for new ones - focus on the here and now.5. We have dependent relationshipsTheres nothing wrong with loving someone and enjoying to be with that person. The problem is when you allow that person to own you - youve become attached to that relationship. Thats why we can move on when a loved one hurts us - we fear losing that person and all the emotions attached to her/ him.Becoming more aware of why we create more suffering wont necessarily make your worries go away. Its just the beginning - to let go when must understand what we cling to.The suffering we cling toYou must love in such a way that t he person you love feels free. - Thich Nhat HanhAll our struggles stem from attachment.We dont really get attached to the person, but to our shared experiences. We get stuck to the emotions that our relationships stir up in us - happy or sad.Dalai Lama said, Attachment is the origin, the root of suffering hence it is the cause of suffering.Once again, theres nothing wrong with forming bonds of love and friendship. The problem is attachment - when we become dependent to clinging on to others.Attachment is holding on to things that are past their time - we suffer because they are no longer what they used (or what we expected them) to be. We dont understand that everything is impermanent - change is the only constant in life.The opposite of attachment is not detachment - the idea is not to stop loving or being compassionate towards others. Non-attachment is the answer - not letting emotions or experiences stick with you.Non-attachment is freedom from things and people. Everythin g changes - when you hold on to something, you get stuck in a moment. All things evolve and change over time.John Daido Loori says that non-attachment should be understood as unity with all things.The Zen teacher said, Non-attachment is exactly the opposite of separation. You need two things in order to have attachment the thing youre attaching to, and the person whos attaching. In non-attachment, on the other hand, theres unity. Theres unity because theres nothing to attach to.You dont have to detach from the people in your life or from having goals in your career. You can still actively work to create a better tomorrow its simply letting go of fixed expectations. Having professional goals or relationships is okay. The issue is when you let those things own you - getting stuck in expectations is why we cant move on when things dont go our way.Non-attachment is recognizing that everything that you are experiencing is impermanent.Face the reality that everything ends and that endin g becomes the start of something else. Life is like a book - you have to turn the page to start a new chapter.Ive become very good at letting go of almost anything over time. I changed jobs and career when I welches at the top. I moved many many times and had to start all over again. I threw away many possessions and habits - what were once luxuries quickly became a burden.Letting go is both liberating and excitingIm still myself in spite of all the changes I made. Recognizing lifes impermanence creates a state of joyfulness - thats the basis for developing a Teflon Mind.What doesnt stick makes you strongerWhen I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. - Tao Te ChingThe first time I heard the term Teflon Mind was in this humorous and inspirational talk by Ajahn Brahm. The acclaimed British-Australian Buddhist monk shares his insights humanly and straightforwardly - you dont need to understand (or even like) Buddhism to benefit from his wisdom.He offers advice on how to train your mind to let go, to be peaceful and happy. Ajahn reflects upon why we find it so hard to let go of our hurts and how we can benefit from having a Teflon Mind.1. Travel LightEverything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well. - Jack KornfieldGrab a rock or a heavy book. Hold it for a couple of minutes and then let it go. How do you feel now? Things are only heavy when you hold onto them - when you let things go, they dont feel heavy any longer.Your mind is like a backpack - if you fill it with heavy rocks, it will make your journey more difficult. Ajahn tells us to throw all the load away (the grudges, the sadness, the complaints, the past, the expectations, etc.). Only keep one thing the present moment.Thats the paradox of life - the more time or space we have, the more we want to fill it with things. Either we plan for new distractions or get bust rehashing memories.Do you f eel exhausted? Maybe your backpack is too heavy. What can you throw away? Let go not just of past emotions - empty your life of things that are meaningless and useless. Look around - you can get rid of everything you see without losing your identity.You are not what you have throw your emotional dependence away.2. Want to Be HereHolding on is believing that theres only a past letting go is knowing that theres a future. - Daphne Rose KingmaFreedom is not a status, but a mindset as I wrote here. There are many prisons in life. Any place you dont want to be is your prison, as Ajahn Brahm explains. If you are in a relationship which you dont like, your relationship is your prison. If you are in a job that doesnt give you satisfaction, you feel imprisoned.However, the solution doesnt always mean escaping from where you are we carry our prisons wherever we go. You need to change your mindset - decide and enjoy being here (wherever or whatever that means to you). Contentment - a state of satisfaction with what you have - is the second way of letting go.When you want to be here, you are free.3. Expect Nothing in ReturnYou can only lose what you cling to. BuddhaAre you giving and expecting something in return? Thats the root of everyday frustrations - nothing ever happens as we want it to be. It can be better or worse or even similar, but its always different.As I started writing this piece, my expectations were zero. I dont expect you to like it, share it, or write back. Im writing it because I choose to be here - Im enjoying the time researching, writing, and editing the piece. If it helps people, that would be great, and I will enjoy it. If not, I will be alright. Whatever must happen, will happen.When you enter a relationship without expectations, you are leaving space for things to happen. Thats why we love surprises.4. Develop a Non-Stick MindWhen the weather is hot, keep a cool mind. When the weather is cold, keep a warm heart - Ajahn BrahmDont let mom ents - sad or happy - adhere to you. Enjoy things while they last. Nostalgia can be as harmful as ruminating sad experiences. Dont let sadness, or the pain that someone caused, stick to you.If you are having a beautiful moment, enjoy it. Dont compare it to others (past or future) moments. A Teflon Mind is not about not caring, but avoiding attachment - a non-stick pan lets you cook one thing after another because none adheres to its surface. The stories we create are like glue - they make things stick rather than come and go.Have a Teflon Mind - let your emotions, experiences, and thoughts kurze unterhose right out.You can attend to painful thoughts, but that doesnt mean they should get stuck. Learn to observe your emotions and feelings without becoming their prisoner - let them go, and you will be free.Thich Nhat Hanh said, Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and alive, body and mind united. Mindfulness is the energy that helps us to know what is going on in th e present moment.Having a Teflon Mind is learning not to judge. Awful, Perfect, The best, the most painful, the worst, the most terrible - when we categorize our experiences, we make them stick.Letting go is one of the most challenging things in life. But its a skill worth developing. Theodore Roosevelt said, Nothing in this world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty. I have never envied a human being who led an easy life.Remember, when theres nothing to attach to, theres nothing to let go of. Thats the beauty of building a non-stick mind.The purpose of your life is the journey, not reaching a destination. Nothing lasts forever.Thisarticlefirst appeared on Medium.
