How Important is Offering Employee Benefits?
In recent studies, 69% of employees reported that they might choose one job over another if it offered better benefits. 60% of employees are likely to take a job with lower pay but better benefits. 42% of employees say improving their benefits package is one thing their employers could do to keep them in their jobs; the second most mentioned after increasing salary. 59% of employees say that health and wellness benefits are important for increasing loyalty to their employer. When choosing between a job that offers higher pay or a job that offers lower pay but better benefits, most respondents stated that better benefits and flexible hours would likely lead them to accepting the lower paying offer.
Most Desirable Employee Benefits
Offering employee benefits is a key factor in retaining happy and productive employees. However, knowing what benefits they most desire is as equally important. Recent studies have shown that the most desired employee benefits are ones that offer better health, dental and vision insurance. These benefit considerations even surpass the desire for higher pay, flexible work scheduling, vacation time, and the option to work from home. So even though it may not seem that important compared to other aspects of the business, business owners really need to take a look at what they have to offer in terms of employee benefits at the Lake of the Ozarks.
