Whenever you ask a person about what makes their job appealing, their answer is usually one of three things: their salary, the benefits, and the work environment. While there’s little you can do about the salary, which all comes down to your resources and financial ability, there are many situations in which the other two reasons are the main source of attraction for employees. 

And, in this competitive market, you’ll find the best talents being constantly tempted by your competitions’ benefits and appeal. From an employee-oriented point of view, the benefits you offer say a lot about how you, as an employer, value their physical and mental health.

Suffice to say, these are the most important benefits that every company should offer its employees:

Health insurance

Perhaps the most important benefit of all is to provide health insurance for your employees. This is one of the most sought-after benefits, one that will make or break the deal for prospective talents. As the health insurance experts at Now Health International explain at https://www.now-health.com/en/group-health-insurance/, your prospective employees will need assurance that their health, along with that of their family’s, is covered. Why else would anyone want to work for something aside from security, in all aspects of it? But providing health insurance doesn’t have to break your bank either. By enrolling in a group health insurance plan, you’ll be able to address the specific needs of your employees in an affordable and effective way.

Providing health insurance is beneficial not only to your employees but also to the company itself. Being able to provide an affordable and reliable healthcare plan for your staff will reduce the chances of absenteeism due to illness or injury, and also help you be compliant with the law. The ERISA consultants at erisaadvisorygroup.com can explain how fiduciary compliance works and how to ensure that you’re meeting all the requirements. Health insurance should be one of the most important benefits every company should offer.

Flexible working plans

You must have heard by now about how flexible working plans have become trendy. Employees all over the world are looking for a more efficient way to live their life, and this starts with letting go of the routine 9-5 work situation. By offering flexible working plans, whether it’s full-time or part-time remote working, you’ll be sure to increase the appeal of your business. This will also give you access to a wider range of talent unrestricted by region, which will be a win for everyone. 

Performance-based bonuses and incentives

No one today wants to work for a company that expects complete loyalty from its employees in exchange for nothing. They want to know that what they do matters; that their efforts are appreciated. The best way to deliver this appreciation is by setting a clear career path ahead of them once they’ve started working for you. Make sure that their jobs are well measured in specific KPIs and milestones, and that, based on their performance, they can get bonuses and incentives. 

Paid vacation

Getting a paid vacation is one of the employees’ rights that should be implemented everywhere. Every company should offer its employees paid vacation to de-stress and rejuvenate. The same goes for other kinds of vacation; sick days, maternity leaves, and emergency absences. When an employee knows that their employer cares about their mental and physical health just as much as they care about their work, they’ll become more loyal to the company.

Growth opportunities

How do you ensure that your employees remain loyal to you? By giving them what they need. It’s never only about the financial compensation that they get as a salary. If your company provides them with every growth opportunity they need, they won’t only remain loyal to you, but they’ll grow during the time of their employment. They’ll be able to give back to your company more than if you hadn’t invested in their personal growth. These growth opportunities can be in the form of seminars, online or offline courses, talent development, or any other kind of opportunities to grow. 

A healthy work environment

Creating a healthy work environment is certainly easier said than done, but you can always strive towards it. A healthy environment is one where your employees feel listened to, appreciated, respected, and motivated. This all starts with creating and instilling a work culture in which the core values you operate around as an entity are reinforced. 

Workers’ comp

Another important aspect of ensuring employees’ safety and peace is to let them know you’ll have their back in case anything goes south. It’s never certain that none of your employees would ever get injured during their time working for you. If worse comes to worst, providing workers’ comp will cover your employees’ medical and financial needs as they recover from injury. 

Finding the right talent is quite difficult. That’s why, by offering additional benefits along with their compensation package, you can improve your odds. These benefits will also give your employees the peace of mind and heart that they’re looking for -increasing your chances of retaining them and growing together.
