Improve Employee Experiencing by Focusing on Safety
Living and breathing company values is an important way to demonstrate commitment to employees at all times. Compensation and benefits packages are often a clear indicator of how a business cares for its staff.
Outside of the obligatory core benefits every employer should be offering – pension, income protection and holiday allowance - flexible working, life insurance and healthcare still top the most desired list of employee extras.
Business culture and Employee Experience (EX) are key differentials when it comes to attracting and retaining talent.
According to the LinkedIn Global Talent Trends Report, better benefits were one of the top three reasons why millennials and generation Z switched jobs in 2020.
While pay still matters, the EX factor growing in terms of importance is compensation and benefits.
Modern employees are more concerned about working for an employer that is aligned to their own personal values, particularly when it comes to health and wellbeing.
A whole new generation of group life and health benefit plans now proactively reward employees for good health and commitment.
Staff can choose to redeem them against everything from gym memberships to wellness apps helping to improve their physical and mental fitness.
There is one essential benefit most employers are still failing to provide their employees, and that’s peace of mind about their personal safety.

Leading employers are listening to their staff and sourcing solutions to improve their feelings of safety, both during working hours and on the commute.
Investing in safety technology that provides reassurance outside of working hours as an employee benefit is an additional way to demonstrate a desire and willingness to support employee wellbeing.
