The benefits are not a joke.

In today’s society, your benefits can often be the determining factor for the best talents to join and stay.

In fact, research revealed that 69% employees say that a wide range of services would increase their loyalty, and 80% People satisfied with their advantages point out greater satisfaction at work.

Great, you therefore know that benefits should be an essential element of your HR strategy.

The rest should be simple, right?

In theory, social benefits may seem simple – give people benefits that improve their lives.

However, the difficulty focuses on the element “improving their lives”, because each employee will have his own needs, challenges and unique desires.

As such, you cannot adopt a unique approach.

What makes a set of advantages really precious?

For employees, a set of very precious advantages goes far beyond traditional offers.

Today, the most impactful packages combine essential foundations such as competitive pensions, complete health care and generous leave policies, with additional advantages that adapt to individual life circumstances and career stages.

And graceThe director of the International RR Consulting at Iris Software Group, said to us: “What makes modern advantages truly precious is choice and flexibility.

“Employees at the start of their career could prioritize professional development funds and students’ assistance for students, while parents need support for solid child care and family leave.

“Employees approaching retirement value are completed and progressive retirement options.

“The key is to offer a flexible service platform where people can adapt their package to their current needs.

“The support of mental health and well-being has become absolutely critical.

“Not only do employee assistance programs, but proactive well-being initiatives, mental health days and access to consulting services.

“Financial well-being is just as important, with regimes in wage advance, financial coaching and emergency difficulties becoming standard expectations.”

The role of technology

We have found that too often, the benefits are deployed from top to bottom without really determining what people really need.

Our senior L&D advisor, Vanessa Myattsaid: “”The HR teams can return this downward approach by bringing together regular comments thanks to surveys on impulses, use data and even informal discussion groups, transforming this information into action.

“But the comments are not sufficient. You need the right technological infrastructure to respond on a large scale.

“This is where the HR and integrated payroll platforms enter into place; Integrated systems allow teams to personalize service options, automate updates and give employees self-service access to their advantages, while keeping everything in synchronization.

“So, instead of adding more administrator, you actually delete friction – more double entry, more lost shapes and more misunderstandings benefit.

“Employees can see what they have, understand how it works and make informed choices.

“The result? A higher commitment, less HR requests and a real increase in confidence. ”
