Abstract: Abstract The relationship of women of generation Y with employee benefits is often unresolved. There are several commercial surveys on employee benefits, and, in this context, this contribution is complementary to the views of prospective employees. The purpose of this chapter is to define what employee benefits are required by women of generation Y from their future employer. It is long-term research. The data of this study were collected from a sample of 2916 women, students of the Mendel University in Brno. As the main method of data acquisition, a questionnaire survey among students was conducted. The hypotheses were tested by ordinary least squares regression analyses (contingency table and chi-squared test). For the results that showed statistical dependence, there was determined association dependence. The results highlight the demands of university-educated women. The results also show that women have similar demands for employee benefits as men do. Women more than men demand these four employee benefits: coverage of language courses, children’s nurseries and kindergartens, contribution to recreation, and contribution to cultural events. The results confirm the trend of interest in benefits related to the work–life balance (sick days, home office). The cafeteria system is appropriated to provide employee benefits.
