If you’re asking yourself whether you should invest more or less in benefits or, if you don’t have anything beyond an auto-enrolment pension, whether you can even afford to invest at all, ask yourself this; can you afford not to?
You only need look at recruitment websites, such as Glassdoor, to see that employee benefits matter to people; benefits even get their own review tab. And if you read a few of these reviews, you start to piece together a useful picture of an organisation’s culture, purpose and values. Benefits represent an important part of the Employee Value Proposition (EVP); in other words, everything the employer is offering to help attract and retain employees.
But don’t just take our word for it. Nearly 9 in 10 (88.7%) students said they would be more likely to apply to an organisation that is open about its commitment to supporting the mental health of its employees.*
