Current time are changing, especially in the last year and offering medical and dental benefits are not enough to put your company ahead of the competition in the employee market. Offering additional benefits to your employees will also boost your employees’ peace of mind in a world of uncertainty. Following are a few benefits your company may employ as advised by our Human Resource experts.
1.A managed fertility benefit.
Fertility struggles are very common, and couples are ready to do anything to start a family. Employers are now sponsoring fertility treatments for employees and their partners, as they have recognised its popularity. According to data from the Society for Human Resource Management, fertility clinics were among the most popular speciality centres to sign direct contracts with employers in 2019. Incorporating such a benefit will benefit both the company and the employee. It will help reduce a company’s bottom line and save employees’ money.
2.Mental health benefit.
Before the pandemic, according to a survey, one-third of large employers planned to offer on-site behavioural-health counselling in 2020. These services are now shifted to online,l for companies to continue guaranteeing this benefit. Not all professionals face the same needs, and having such a service can accommodate all needs. It’s essential to offer mental health benefits with a vast online service with the global shift.
3.Pet insurance.
Companies with a younger workforce will be surprised at employer-sponsored pet insurance popularity. According to an APPA survey, pets help reduce stress and increase a sense of well-being among their owners. According to Shelter Animals Count, in 2020, as the world saw an online shift, the boom in pet adoptions and fosters rose, to which 89% of homeless dogs and cats left shelters between March and June.
4.Further education.
Supporting and sponsoring to further an employee’s skills is a popular Human Resource tool. However, with the current shifting economy at hand, this is slowly declining in popularity.
