Benefits matter, whether your worker is a full-time employee or a contractor. The benefits offered are unique to each company, but what’s isn’t unique is that everyone wants them. We’ve looked at some of the benefits and perks that are popular right now and found that even part-time workers and contractors want coverage for their health as well as vacation, and more. If you’re struggling to find and retain top talent, look internally—it could be your benefits.
What Benefits Are Employees Looking For?
What Benefits Matter in 2022?
The latest data out there shows that employees and contractors are looking for jobs where they have benefits. There are plenty of jobs in this market that offer these perks, too. For employers, it’s a great way to attract a good caliber of worker to your organization. Some of the most popular benefits for 2022 include:
- Health insurance and benefits for physical health. This includes memberships for home gyms or remote workers and mental health programs to help with work/life balance and stress.
- Employee engagement initiatives are a newer trend that we see this year that is particularly important for a remote worker. Businesses should make an effort to bring camaraderie to the workforce no matter where they actually work. Zoom happy hours to game nights can help your workforce achieve the kind of tight connections that will engage them for the long haul.
- Childcare assistance is a newer benefit for 2022 that can have a real impact on work-from-home parents (or in-office parents for that matter). Hundreds of daycares shut down due to COVID over the past year, so parents need help with juggling family responsibilities and work tasks. Employers can help, and their employees will be very grateful.
- Schedule flexibility is a hot perk this year. Allowing employees to work when they want or at least start later, can allow your workforce to maintain a better work/life balance.
- The ability to continue their remote work. Many employers called workers back, but many others resigned themselves to keeping their workers remote. Believe us when we tell you that most of your new hires are looking for remote work options. If you can offer it, you’ll win the candidate every time.
