Having a job is what pays the bills but that’s not the only meaning it can bring to life.
Quite often having a job defines who you are as a person.
Who would know Alun Wyn Jones or Cristiano Ronaldo if they were not doing their job?
Playing gives them identity.
As Alun Wyn Jones said: “People often ask whether you’d alter anything about your life. I can honestly say I wouldn’t change a thing.
When I retire, my CV might have a few holes, things I haven’t achieved that I would have felt I needed to do, but I won’t know if I did need to do them until I retire. I never counted on playing rugby: I was just another fat kid chasing an egg. It has gone pretty well.”
Note: On 31 October 2020, Jones became the most capped international player of all time. Well done Alun!
But what about work-benefits?
Do they matter?
Well, adding benefits can increase loyalty, focus and productivity, attendance, and recruiting.
According to one survey, 60% of employees said having a benefits package is very important to their employer loyalty.
”There’s no doubt that companies have increased their focus on benefits and perks (and with 57% of job seekers counting them among their top considerations before taking a new job).” – Glassdoor
Some of the core benefits that make the biggest impact on employee satisfaction are:
- Paid parental leave
- On-site gym
- Healthcare coverage and free housing
- Pet health insurance
- Shopping vouchers/ discount
- Sick days
- Retirement plan
- Pension plan
- Paid holidays
- Dental insurance
Note: Check out the full results HERE, drawn from employees’ Glassdoor Benefits Reviews.
