The pandemic has caused many notable changes, but arguably one of the most significant – especially in the job market – is The Great Resignation. This emerging workforce trend has disrupted the labor market and put employees back in the driver’s seat. Even though we have turned the page to a new year, The Great Resignation is still going strong in 2022. In fact, it is predicted that 23% of employed Americans plan to quit their jobs in 2022. When mass resignations are occurring across all industries, how can organizations equip themselves and become employers of choice?

How to combat employee disengagement

In this evolving job market, it is critical for organizations to revisit their current practices and adapt in order to retain and attract talent. To achieve this, organizations must give their employees what they want and tailor perks and benefits to their specific needs.

3 trends that are driving innovative benefits and perks in the workforce

1. Hyper-personalization

Gone are the days of basic, cookie-cutter benefits plans. Today’s modern workers want to join organizations that can offer benefits to accommodate their unique needs.

2. Voice and Choice

Employees are looking for flexible work options and want to ensure their voices are heard. They want to work for organizations where their opinions and preferences matter, especially when it comes to their day-to-day work and benefits.

3. Whole-person wellness

Employees need their employers to support their overall well-being. This starts with genuine support from their direct managers, as well as the benefits and perks offered to them by the organization.
