The types of benefits employees want today

Finding and retaining the best and brightest in the talent pool goes beyond the number of zeros at the end of the salary. Increasingly, the benefits offered have become just as important.

To find out what employees are looking for in today’s climate, we look at some articles in Fast Company and HR Dive to see what experts in HR are talking about in the world of benefits. A lot of it comes down to relationships, both in and out of the workplace. Here are some key points to keep in mind as you evaluate your benefits package:

Flexibility in scheduling: This is a key one. In fact, a recent study showed that paid time off and being able to adjust work hours as needed for work-life balance was more important that working from home.

Mental health benefits: With the stressors of the day weighing on people both in and out of the workplace, having resources to help address mental health has become a higher priority.

Younger vs. older: Making sure there are benefits to cover both sides of the age coin is also increasingly valuable. Younger employees are more interested in family-centered benefits, while older workers want more robust retirement plans.



Volunteer opportunities: Corporate-sponsored community service is something that helps employees understand how they’re connected with everyone, a feeling anyone would benefit from.

Everyday wellness: If there are ways to provide discounts or resources to better someone’s health — whether that’s physical, mental or spiritual — employees would like to see more of it.
