5 job perks you should provide in a post-pandemic climate

Finding and retaining good talent is a lot of work. And in this post-pandemic climate there are a lot of new things to consider. Today’s job force is looking for stability, and these are the top five job perks that will help you find and retain the best talent.

1. Trust

This past year was a stressful one for leaders and employees, and the one thing that most workers seek right now is a transparent and trustworthy leadership team. How and how often you communicate makes a huge difference in employee comfort level, and will allow team members to do their best work.

2. Connection

Try to get creative by giving your team unstructured options to socialize with one another. Virtual pizza parties and scavenger hunts have all been used by business owners to help their team feel more connected during these strange times.

3. A better work-from-home experience

One of the best perks you can give your team right now is an upgraded, comfortable workspace. Subsidize equipment. Upgrade computers. Help purchase ergonomic furniture. All of these things can help make an employee’s day more pleasant and make them feel appreciated.

4. Health care

Having a comprehensive employer-provided health care plan is at the top of the list for many job seekers right now.

5. Wellness

Consider offering therapy benefits and meditation or yoga memberships as a good start. Another perk would be to help your employees with financial wellness. Have a financial planner do a series of webinars for your team members offering guidance on how to manage their money, save for retirement, or create a budget.
