To attract
their necessary workers, the focus for owners of small companies should be
directed toward benefits that are most valued by the workforce they are looking
to attract. Here are a few of the benefits most employees are looking for in
2023:
Healthcare…with heightened health concerns
stemming from the pandemic and quests for enhanced personal well-being, a
comprehensive portfolio of healthcare benefits has been and remains one of the
most sought-after benefits.
Remote Work…the ability to
work from home which became commonplace during the pandemic appears to have
staying power. It remains to be seen whether the trend continues to grow or
subsides to a lesser extent but for now this is something most employees are
seeking.
Flexible Work Schedule…the
ability to balance work responsibilities with personal obligations and the care
of children and elderly parents has made a flexible work schedule a valued
benefit in the post-pandemic world.
Paid Family Leave…Citing
the positive benefits on physical health, mental well-being and stability for
the entire family, workers are increasingly looking for companies that provide
women with maternity leave and men with paternity leave.
Paid Time Off…employees
continue to seek additional time off from work to reduce stress and recharge to
maintain health and wellbeing. This actually has the potential to benefit
employers in addition to the employee as the relaxation and clear mind attained
through time off often leads to a higher level of employee morale and increased
productivity.
