Why are employee benefits important?

Offering great employee benefits shows that a company cares about the happiness and health of its people. These aren’t just perks meant to catch the attention of job seekers. Benefit packages lead to a more motivated and productive workforce. So, both employees and employers win.

At Flutter International, we understand that great benefits can give our people greater financial security, a better work/life balance and improved mental well-being. It’s part of what powers our positive working culture across our global offices.

In this article we’ll answer some of the most common questions about benefits packages and explain what makes our own offering so unique.

 

What benefits are valued the most by employees?

The benefits most valued by employees most will differ from person to person. However, the benefits that generally appeal the most fall into the following categories:

Financial health

Pension contributions, bonuses and savings plans can help employees look ahead to the future and feel more financially secure.

Flexibility

Providing options such as remote working and flexible working hours can help employees to fit their work alongside other life commitments. This improves your work-life balance and can reduce stress.

Health

Benefits such as employee assistance programmes and health insurance foster better well-being at work, encouraging our people to look after their physical and mental wellness.

Family life

A generous paid holiday entitlement and parental leave policy provides more time for employees to enjoy with their families. This can also provide a big boost to their general happiness.

Development

Is the business serious about growing employees’ careers? Strong commitments to learning and development programmes and training initiatives are a great way to make this happen.

 

What industry offers the best employee benefits?

The industries widely considered as leaders in employee benefits are:

 

Technology

Business is booming in the world of tech, and this is great news for employees. It means companies like ours can invest more in our people and offer generous benefits packages which enrich their daily lives.

Financial services

Unsurprisingly, financial services companies often lead the way when it comes to strong pension and bonus benefits. In some cases, they may also offer stock options in the business, which can increase long-term financial security.

Healthcare

Some public sector jobs, such as long-term posts in the healthcare sector, are renowned for stable benefits packages. This could include great pension schemes and generous annual leave entitlement.
