Employees value benefits as financial pressures rise

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Creative News, Outdoor News

Employees are increasingly recognising the value of their workplace benefits as financial pressures increase, new research shows.

A study shows more than half of employees highly value the benefits they receive at work - an increase of 25 per cent on 2015 findings.

Findings from the study show that talent attraction remains a key business priority: 73 per cent of employers are using benefits to attract new talent compared with 61 per cent in 2015, with nearly half of the firms saying that they expect a talent shortage in the next 12 months.

Jo Elphick, Head of Marketing at MetLife UK, said: "The increasing value that employees place on their benefits creates a real opportunity for businesses to align their benefits strategy with their business strategy. In times of uncertainty employees are looking beyond salary and a well-designed benefits programme can help employers build stronger businesses and succeed in the growing war for talent."
