The blended work-
life world is here to
stay. Employers who
support employees as
individuals in and out
of the workplace will
thrive in this evolving
environment.
It starts with understanding where employees are today and their drive to find purpose — however
big or small. Once employers understand that employees simply want to have meaningful
experiences inside and outside of the workplace, they can begin to shape work experiences to
keep their workforce engaged. From structured work flexibility to increased training, employers
have several levers to pull when it comes to enabling a better atmosphere for employees.
Yet, perhaps the biggest tool at their disposal is delivering a compelling mix of holistic benefits.
Benefits can be reframed as a significant part of compensation, working with employees’ salaries
to contribute meaningfully to their quality of life. Offering the right mix of benefits — whether
traditional or emerging — gives employees the sense of empowerment they seek, helping them
manage their finances, care for their well-being, and plan for the future.
Communicated in the right way, benefits can go a long way toward helping employees and
employers thrive in today’s workplace.
