A quick look at our Global Employee Benefits Trends Report
The world of work continues to change, and employee benefits naturally adapt with it. There are various social, economic, and political forces impacting the way we work in the post-pandemic world, as well as what benefits employees are looking for from their employers.
In our Global Employee Benefits Trends Report 2022, we identify major trends influencing the employee benefits sector to give employers and HR teams practical tips that can improve not only their business but also their workforce’s health and well-being. Staff and curious readers alike can also get a better understanding of the employee benefits landscape by reading the report.
At the start of the report, we briefly summarize the top five global employee benefits trends for the year. We then take a closer look at each trend in their respective sections.
The top five global employee benefits trends in 2022
The following questions offer an introduction to the top five global employee benefits this year. Download your free copy of the report for detailed explanations and practical implementation tips.
1. How are employers planning to lure employees back to the office?
Employers globally are asking their employees to return to the office after remote working for an extended period during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in understandable hesitation amongst staff. Fortunately, incentives such as four-day work weeks and lunch subsidies can help. But incentives must be lucrative for both parties to benefit from them.
This trend also covers the ‘Great Resignation’ and its impact on employee benefits when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. What’s more, the section closes with tips for creating a successful return-to-office plan.
2. What role does HR tech play in the areas of employee monitoring?
It’s no secret that HR technology and tools keep advancing, but what isn’t as well-known is that AI and algorithms have become integral for employee predictions, decisions, and more. In this section, we also explore what workplace surveillance is, why employers are looking to implement it, and how employees feel about these changes – to name a few. The tips at the end of this section can be used to get employees to accept new workplace technology.
3. Why are companies adopting a holistic approach to employee benefits?
Employees are becoming increasingly burnout. And with the global pandemic, rising inflation, or the cost of living crisis, it’s easy to see why. On top of that, employees must also handle the usual stressors of life. As more people become aware of the mind-body connection (and its importance to the quality of our lives), business leaders are looking for benefits that focus on more than solely physical health.
Awareness may be a start, but recognizing the value of holistic health and well-being is not enough to address the issue and make effective changes to one’s employee benefits offerings. Here we dive deeper into this trend and offer tips to help businesses support the well-being of their workforce.
4. Is it necessary to consider Gen Z’s concerns about sustainability?
As Gen Z continue to enter the workforce, employers must get to know their mindset. Values are one of the most important things to the newest generation, and employers who don’t realize this could lose their talent to competitors who do – particularly in the current ‘War for Talent’. Consequently, companies can focus on benefits that meet Gen Z’s expectations (e.g. green benefits).
If you think greenifying your employee benefits sounds hard, think again. All it really takes is understanding what employees want. From carpooling to paid volunteering days, there are many ways that companies can include green initiatives in their employee benefits packages, especially with our handy tips on how to greenify your employee benefits offerings in this section.
5. Where are we headed when it comes to fairness and equality?
4 out of 5 (80%) staff label their work environment as ‘unfair’. In this section of the report, we unveil the intricate layers of fairness and equality at work and answer important questions such as ‘What is fairness and equality in the workplace and why does it matter?’ and ‘How is the gender wage gap still a barrier for female staff?’ This section also discusses fairness concerns in the remote work era and how companies can move towards an intersectional approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Any business looking to improve fairness and equality at work can benefit from the ideas presented in this section.
