In January of this year, the US Labor Market declared "The great resignation is over." This is terrific news, however, some employers still face high turnover rates for various reasons.
One solution that could help retain employees and leverage your company among competitors is to offer non-traditional benefits.
Check out four awesome non-traditional benefits we have listed below!
Pet-Friendly Workplace
Around 70% of households in America own pets, with most pet owners feeling extremely guilty leaving their pets home alone through the entire workday.
How many small businesses set up a doggy daycare that allows workers to visit their pets during breaks? Probably not too many, right? You'd see a boost in morale and overall happiness plus your company would stand out from the rest!
Suprise Days Off
As employees meet quotas and milestones, or just at random to show your appreciation for their hard work, surprise your employees with a day off or the opportunity to leave early on a Friday. Better yet, nothing is better than being told by your employer to clock out early the day before a holiday!
Financial Planning Services
Partner with your local financial companies to offer budgeting/financial wellness clinics. In this economy, employees are leaving companies they love working for just to earn more money and, in some cases, the employee simply needs help budgeting the cashflow in their household.
Offering financial planning workshops or even paying for online financial courses can go a long way in showing employees that you care about their financial wellbeing.
Complimentary Food/Drinks
Once or twice a month, offer to take your team out to lunch/dinner. Getting together while taking a break from work boosts comradery and employee morale. Further, maybe some mornings, offer light refreshments like coffee or donuts to assist employees with jump starting their day!
Even having a company vending machine or a breakroom stocked with healthy snacks and drinks can go a long way in helping employees feel valued and cared for!
