Flexible Benefits: An Effective Prescription in China
Since its first appearance in the 1970s, flexible benefits (flex) have become a common benefits element in western countries. Flex is a benefit program that provides a variety of supplemental benefit options to employees based on a predetermined budget.

In China and many Asian countries, flex is a recent emergence that has quickly gained the attention and favor of many companies.
Companies most attracted to flex are multinational firms in leading industries (such as pharmaceutical, auto, hi-tech, FMCG, etc.) with large workforce populations and relatively comprehensive pay and benefit systems.
