Rethinking benefit plans
Employee benefit plans go beyond the economic plane and, increasingly, are designed based on the needs of the workforce. According to the Cobee study, these are the main trends for this year, in this sector:
- Personalized benefits, in very heterogeneous workforces there are different needs and the same services cannot be provided for everyone.
- Let them compensate for the rise in the standard of living. Flexible remuneration is a way to increase payrolls, since these amounts are not taxed.
- take into account the opinion of the employees. That the company asks them before making a decision, in terms of social benefits, is a way of showing that they care.
- Beyond tax savings. Younger employees care much more about their physical and mental well-being than other generations. Therefore, they value services related to this, beyond tax savings.
- That they give financial education to the staff, to know the foundation of the exemptions and better choose what suits them.
