[Feb 2023] Employers are increasingly looking for ways to attract and retain top talent as the job market evolves. One of the strategies gaining traction among businesses worldwide is offering attractive benefits packages as an incentive for potential employees. Experts predict that this trend will become even more prominent in 2023.
About 60% of job seekers cite company benefits as a critical factor when evaluating a job offer, making it an essential asset for employers. Benefits can be a more economical way to persuade job seekers to join their organisations than salary and bonuses. Many employers are now going above and beyond in offering benefits packages that accommodate the needs of their employees.
Sought-After Benefits Packages
Flexible Work Schedules
As many employees are looking for more work-life balance, companies have introduced flexible work schedules as a benefit. This could include remote working, job sharing, and compressed hours, allowing employees to have some control over their working hours.
401(k) Retirement Plans
401(k) retirement plans are growing in popularity as an added incentive for job seekers. Companies offer matching contributions to encourage employees to save for their future while still employed with the firm.
Wellness Programs
Employee health and wellness programs are becoming more commonplace in the workplace. These programs offer incentives for employees to stay physically and mentally fit, such as discounted gym memberships, access to health and wellness resources, and mental health benefits.
Finding the Right Employers
Job seekers looking for the right company must carefully evaluate the benefits packages offered. Ensuring the package aligns with their needs will help them make an informed decision about their next step.
