What Company Benefits Are Important to US
Employees?

• Attracting and retaining employees is tough for
  many American businesses, and its not getting
  any easier, especially if youre seeking to find
  the very best talent for your vacant roles.
  Benefits packages have always been a great way of
  incentivizing employees, and health insurance
  coverage is just one of many benefits that
  candidates look for when applying for jobs and
  deciding whether to remain with an employer, or
  move on and search for a better benefits package
  elsewhere.
• However, if youre an employer desperately trying
  to attract and retain new talent for your
  company, what else can you offer as incentive
  besides health insurance?

• Below are 6 of the most popular benefits among US
  employees today
• 1. A more flexible schedule
• Work-life-balance may have become a buzz phrase,
  but with good reason. With so many more employees
  seeking to strike a balance between their home
  life and their work life, flexible schedules are
  a great way of enabling them to do exactly that.
• Cost-effective and simple, offering employees
  flexible working hours can attract candidates who
  want to fulfil the role, but whiles still being
  able to spend time with family and friends, and
  take better care of their health.

• 2. Remote working
• A hugely attractive benefit for many, being able
  to work from home (or from a variety of remote
  locations) often sees an increase in
  productivity, reduced turnover and lower overhead
  costs.

• 3.Unlimited PTO
• While this might seem incredibly generous, its
  what some companies are offering their employees
  in order to attract and retain the top talent.
  Flexible or unlimited PTO typically is appealing
  to the top performers because theyre
  self-sufficient and motivated enough to pursue
  their role without having someone watching over
  their shoulder, or dictating their time off.
  While of course unlimited PTO requires employers
  to trust their employees, it can be wonderfully
  effective in creating a work environment that
  encourages the very best at what they do, to
  excel in their roles.

• 4. Family leave
• In many households throughout the U.S. both
  parents or caregivers work full time in jobs
  outside of the home, making employer-paid sick
  leave an extremely attractive incentive. For
  many, family leave supersedes many other employee
  benefits.
• 5. Health insurance
• While this form of benefit is a traditional one,
  its still a powerful incentive for job
  candidates, and many employers are also beginning
  to offer group-term life insurance, too. A
  cheaper option than individual life insurance,
  this benefit is proving popular, and when coupled
  with health insurance or other benefits, it can
  be a compelling package of incentives.

• 6. Education and student loan assistance
• If you can offer your employees help with their
  student loan debts or give them education support
  as part of their benefits package, you could
  attract a better standard of candidate, and take
  advantage of some government tax breaks.
• Whether you choose to add one or several of the
  above benefits to your employee packages, you
  could stand out from other employers and make
  your business a far more attractive prospect for
  the very best candidates.
