Rewards

39% of employees say they are satisfied with their employers, pay and benefits, but are still considering leaving (Global Talent Trends, 2018). Not great odds for employers who need to build a workforce for the future in a tightening labor market.

For HR leaders to effectively attract and keep the talent they need, it’s not enough to offer just great pay and benefits. Employees in high demand expect and need more from their employers.

That’s why HR leaders need to expand their view of employee rewards by considering additional programs that differentiates their employee value proposition.
