There have been times in history where potential employees have had to compete for jobs, but at this point, the market is more competitive for employers. If you want high quality employees you need to be competitive so that you can attract them to your business and add them as loyal members of your team. Having the right benefits is one of the main things you can do to make your business appealing to amazing talent.
Paid Leave
Offering a generous paid leave plan is a necessity if you want to attract top talent to your company. You should offer a sufficient amount of PTO for your employees to take time off when they are ill and to have time for vacations that will leave them refreshed and ready for all the work they do at your business. It’s important to also build a company culture where employees are encouraged to use the PTO they have. Offering a great PTO plan and then preventing your employees from using it will not help you to keep your employees long term.
Offer Employees Equity
If you really want your employees to be investing in your company, one thing you can do is help them become actual investors. By giving them equity in your company you can help them to see the value of your business and feel more connected to the success of the work you are doing. Controlling your cap table helps avoid deadweight equity holders. And one way to do that is through giving equity to your employees so they have the benefit of owning a part of the company and participating more fully in the work you do there.
Quality Health Benefits
When you are running a business, you want to make sure that your employees are healthy and able to do their work in the best possible way. Offering great health benefits including insurance, an HSA, and disability coverage can help to create that environment. When your employees’ health is taken care of they are better able to help your company be successful.
Taking care of your employees is important, and it can also help you to ensure that your employees are feeling good and feel connected to your company. With the right benefits your company will become more attractive to great talent. This will help in hiring and also decrease turnover as employees feel happy and comfortable working for your business.
