Why Office Perks Are No Longer Enough
The death of ping pong tables, nap pods and free snacks. Office perks just aren’t cutting it anymore.
The Challenge: A shift in Priorities
The workforce is changing. Millennials and Gen Z prioritize flexibility, wellbeing and purpose-driven work more than ever. The traditional approach is no longer enough and employees are looking for revolution not an evolution.
70% of Gen Z prioritize work-life balance over higher salaries.
The Opportunity: A Holistic Approach
Imagine a future where benefits go beyond healthcare and retirement plans. Where employers are looking at employees as whole human beings and not just focused on checking the box of benefits open enrollment and annual performance reviews. Instead creating a workforce of educated consumers and providing resources that help employees navigate life’s journey with things like financial wellbeing programs, tailored mental health support and opportunities that truly fuel career growth. Cultivating an ecosystem where employees can thrive both in and out of work.
Moving Forward: Building the Future of Benefits
How we get there:
Data driven decisions: Leverage data to understand employee needs and business capabilities
Flexibility: Offer diverse benefits options, flexible schedules, and remote or hybrid work opportunities where feasible.
Impactful partnerships: Getting the right internal and external partners creates a more cohesive ecosystem that can support employees at every stage.
Call to Action: Be the Architect of Change
Benefits leaders have the power to usher in the new era. Championing innovative solutions, breaking down silos and redefining what it means to take care of people. Attracting talent means nothing if they can’t be retained.
The Goal: Empower employees, strengthen the business and cultivate a truly thriving workplace.
