The 5 most wanted benefits

Compensation & Benefits teams expend a great deal of energy considering just what their workforce wants and how best to tailor their programme, or programmes, to this.

In fact, they may be overcomplicating things, according to research by recruiter Michael Page. They found that 82% of Brits think that their workplace benefits packages are Byzantine.

Of the 1,000 surveyed, 64% believe that their employer is ploughing money into expensive benefits they don’t want, need or use. 

Rather than gimmicks, such as free massages, which was citied, 70% want practical benefits.
