How to Build Employment Value with Better Benefits

In a tight labor market with rapid job turnover, employees no longer take a job based on salary alone. These days, benefits are just as important as income—and a critical part of the recruitment package. 

In fact, 82% of women with kids and 76% of men with kids would prefer better benefits over a salary increase, and 80% of employees overall would opt for better benefits over a better salary. And while 92% of Millennials say money is a major factor in a job, 90% of Millennials say they would prefer benefits over a salary increase. 

In other words? Employees are planning for the future, and they know that benefits can help them secure it. Recruiters planning future talent acquisition need to think the same way.
