There are a lot of ways to get the best possible staff. You can offer a large salary, and that will work most of the time, but the thing that can help set your company apart from your competition is in which benefits you offer to your employees. Here are three company benefits that will entice the best possible employees.
Leisure Facilities
The old saying ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ is as true as ever. Your employees need to be able to spend time not working. This includes while they are at work. This doesn’t mean that you can let them slack off, deliver poor results and not get anything done. Instead, it means that during things like lunch breaks or coffee breaks, your staff can take some time to relax and rest before getting back to work. This might mean offering free food or drinks for the office at all times or having some games in a break room for people to enjoy. This might be something like a pool table, ping pong or even an old Pac-Man machine. Having these fun things to do during a break increases people’s motivation as they believe that the company cares more about them and as such they will deliver better results.
Medical Insurance
You need to take care of your staff. If they are off sick for long periods, then you are going to lose money because there work either isn’t getting done or other people are having to cover it. Either way, it is best for them to be off sick for as short a time as possible. This is where you can group medical insurance for the company and be able to give out medical insurance as a benefit of working for you. This will help your company, and your staff will appreciate the fact that you are looking out for their health. You might not be doing it for altruistic reasons, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t benefit both sides of the equation. If a potential employee is given a choice between a company with and a company without medical insurance, then they are far more likely to choose the one that provides it as a benefit for their staff.
Gym Membership
A gym membership might seem like a small thing, but it can mean a lot to people. Often paying for a decent gym membership is expensive and something that people are hesitant to do in case, they don’t use it as much as they feel they should. If you offer them a gym membership as part of your benefits package, then they don’t have to worry about any of that. Encouraging people to stay fit and healthy is also important your company. Fit and healthy people are far less likely to need to take sick leave, and a healthy body means a healthy mind, so it will also help to improve their overall work, too. Offering a gym membership is a great benefit to be able to offer your staff.
