Employees With Benefits [infographic] – Friday Distraction
We’ve all heard the phrase that there’s more to compensation than our paychecks. Meaning that perks and benefits play a huge role in total compensation. Benefits are usually defined as non-wage compensation. In some places, they are mandated by law (examples include health insurance, sick pay, vacation, etc.) Perks are typically non-standard benefits that might be unusual in nature or limited to certain positions. Examples of a perk might be an auto allowance, dry cleaning expense reimbursement, or flexible work schedules.
Both perks and benefits can vary greatly by job, industry and even region. I once worked at a hotel that was allowed to break dress code during the summer months. It was a perk of working in a sub-tropical climate.
Today’s infographic, courtesy of Jobvite, explores the perks and benefits that employees are looking for. I must admit that I was a bit surprised at the results. Check out where free food and gym memberships are on the list.
But the real gem in this infographic is the general trends in tenure section. This will give organizations some insight into how long employees are staying with companies. And if employers want to change this trend, some strategies for doing it (i.e. connecting perks with tenure).
