The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacts the economy, workplace, and society. Employees have endured physical and mental health hardships and income insecurity. Progressive organizations and governments must address these challenges with short- and long-term initiatives. This paper reviews how organizations have modified employee benefits to attract, motivate and retain employees during the pandemic and proposes implications for future disruptions. A conceptual classification employee benefit model is first presented that includes security (e.g., workers' compensation), retirement, healthcare, financial (e.g., financial counseling), family benefits (e.g., FMLA), and time-off (e.g., sick days). Recent literature is then reviewed using this classification. Implications for the strategic management of employee benefits are offered.
