It’s a question that CEOs and managers around the world are asking: "How can I keep my employees loyal?".
In the modern working world, staff loyalty is almost a thing of the past. Whereas employees used to stay at the same company for most, if not all, of their career, jumping from one job to another in quick succession has become the norm.
To investigate the impact of staff perks on employee loyalty, Towergate Insurance has created an infographic which contains some interesting statistics.
For example, 40 percent of employees think that compensation is the benefit that would increase engagement and loyalty the most, followed by better benefits (36 percent), career advancement opportunities (34 percent) and training or education (31 percent).
Fifty-one percent of respondents identify flexible schedules as something that would make them want to stay at their job and 39 percent of working adults have actually left a job or considered leaving because it wasn’t flexible enough.
In terms of perks, 20 percent of UK employees want a pension, 19 percent want an increase in basic salary and 11 percent want financial benefits during long-term injury or illness.
The study also identifies some of the more unusual perks on offer at various companies around the world, such as Microsoft’s on-site shopping center exclusively for staff, Google’s free haircuts and Airbnb’s themed Formal Fridays.
