Benefits are a specific form of remuneration, which is quite inconsistent in the way of its efficiency, different forms, and in the way of providing and receiving. Anyway, non-standard and specific forms of remuneration have significant impact on subjective employee's evaluation of an organisation. The survey in the area of benefits and their impact on work satisfaction and organisational efficiency provides partial shift to the effective use of benefits. The aim of the paper is firstly to define relations between employee satisfaction and benefits and secondly to describe impact of benefits on performance and thus efficiency of an organisation. The outcomes prove relation between employee satisfaction and benefits and also, on the other hand, dissatisfaction leading to fluctuation. The impact of benefits was found as significant. Benefits have impact on many other human resource management practices. The results show that benefits are provided according to preferences of the majority of employees. Providing of benefits does not take into account talents, key workers and knowledge employees. Moreover, if benefits are not suitable, it causes more destructively than if there were none.

Keywords: benefits, efficiency, employee, organisation, performance, remuneration
