You can be creative in designing the benefit. *Please input your Name on the Header/ Subject. en-us 2022-12-01 12:22:29 UTC 2022-12-05 14:46:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Ashrafiq https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405094371 I would recommend the company to review the extrinsic, non-financial benefits. Some examples would be to include a casual dress code. My company has a very corporate nature and does not allow dress down days, even on Fridays or weekends if we have to come back to work.

Understandably, the client facing employees should always look professional and wear business attire. However, it doesn’t make sense if the employees who are in the back has to be in business attire as well. I think implementing a casual dress code would not harm the company’s financial position and would allow the employees to be more comfortable, and hence work better!]]> 2022-12-01 13:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405094371 Soh Cheow Ann https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405095338 I think I would like to recommend my current company to adopt flexible working day per week e.g., four-days per week so that the employees can have more quality time with their family (looking after their children since the government encourage to have more babies) and also can enjoy work life balance. ]]> 2022-12-01 13:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405095338 Firdaus https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405095522 Changing the employee bonus plan to something different. Every 3month performance bonus. To increase productivity, motivation, and morale among employees]]> 2022-12-01 13:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405095522 kader https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405095952 One program that I believe would be beneficial is one where an employee receives compensation even when he takes time off from work. The provision of limitless vacation time is a development of this advantage. I believe that if a firm can offer this advantage, it may be very well-liked by employees. Employees welcome a break from their stressful work schedules. Additionally, if a corporate culture encourages people to take sabbaticals, it benefits them. One of the most sought-after advantages you may provide is this one. Your business will gain a positive reputation as a result, and every millennial would want to work there.]]> 2022-12-01 13:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405095952 Jian Hao https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405101046 the company can offers a variety of perks to its employees, like including flexible work hours and the opportunity to perform their jobs from the comfort of their own homes. Additionally, the company can permits its workers to perform their jobs from a remote location and gives them the option to perform fewer hours during specific time periods. Access to a childcare facility, affordable or catered food, discounted or free subscriptions to a gym or spa, and paid time off  which might be worth  to be included in the benefits.]]> 2022-12-01 13:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405101046 Shidah https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405102145 I would recommend my current job to encourage more of a flexible working hours of work so that the workers are able to have a balance life between work and family. The flexible working hours would be between 8 to 5pm or 9 to 6pm. 
At the same time encouraging them with incentives or a day off once the the individual or team met with the KPI given.

-Classpass
-Mental Health Therapist
-Massage places
-Supplements

This is to promote cohesion and an active lifestyle among the staff. On top of that, it can get stressful at work or sometimes employees may face specific challenges in their own life that might affect their work performance. Access to mental health therapists at work will help employees shine and do well at work and at home.

Also who doesn't love a good massage after the tiring week at work. I do believe employees will definitely appreciate knowing their employer cares for them.

With all the said above, this will help our employees to not only be productive but this will help with the retention rate.

I would recommend my company provide free health insurance to every employee. One of the most significant benefits of full-time employment is the eligibility for free health insurance fully paid for by the company. 
  • It can increase retention. Employees are more likely to stay with a company that offers valuable insurance benefits, as they can be far more costly to replace on an individual basis.
  • It can help employees save money. By offering employees health insurance, they could potentially save thousands of dollars per year.
  • It can be used as a recruiting tool. 
  • It can boost employee satisfaction. Workers tend to place higher value and feel more favourable about jobs and employers that provide good health benefits.

The employee of the month can be rewarded with a special leave of 1 day or any incentive as a recognition  .]]> 2022-12-01 13:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405104843 James https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405105833 i would suggest company to promote meaningful workstyle. If day in and out we are always doing the same things, over the time, staff would lost the meaning of working.

This would be attractive as people tend to apply for a job that covers only when they are employed at the company. Why not uphold a benefit that encourages employees to stay on with the company? For instance, the company can adopt a “Normal Retirement Plan for Staff of 15 years” & “Premium Retirement Plan for Staff of 25 years”. This benefit would assist the company in retaining employees & also a unique way of enhancing employees’ commitment & loyalty to the company. Employees would be motivated to not only enjoy normal benefits such as leaves and time-offs, but also qualify for retirement plans under the company should they stay on for many years with the company. The company can liaise with a third-party insurance company or agency for the creation of the retirement plans. It could be a first to be a benefit for a company.]]> 2022-12-01 13:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405106208 Jarren https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405110078 I would recommend the company to adopt a paid family expenses scheme for their staff. There will be a cap to the amount but the staff is available to claim any amount they want until they hit the cap. This benefit in return will allow the staff to be more proactive in their role as the perks they receive might spur them to do better.]]> 2022-12-01 13:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405110078 Wong Kang Tai https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405112006 I would recommend for companies in Singapore to implement a minimum living wage. For example an annual $72,000 salary for a degree holder. Remove unnecessary evaluation on work performance and appraisal. When there is a evaluation and performance review, it will create an imbalance to employees attitude and mindset when certain employees get the pay rise and promotion. Ultimately human beings are bias. There is no such thing as fair assessment and proper judgement. ]]> 2022-12-01 13:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405112006 Hazel https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405115302 Health insurance. By offering health insurance to workers, you show that you care about their physical and mental health as well as their value as people outside of work. Personal opinion, physical and mental health are crucial, particularly when COVID hit back in 2019. Since so many people were both physically and mentally impacted, this might be useful for those in unforeseen circumstances.

Firstly, I would recommend my company to adopt a personal high-priority benefit for employees. An example would be paid time off for vacations for one to be able to live a quality life. One should not dwell on work all the time, this will be able to increase the mental well-being of employees, encouraging them to perform better in their specific tasks.

Moving on, I would highly suggest a 4 day work week scheme for employees to be able to spend quality time with family members and not miss out on life as a whole. Work-life balance will be achieved in this.

Thirdly, in-house office massages or vouchers for massages/chiropractor appointments. Whether employees spend the majority of their days at their desks or on their feet, a relaxing massage is always a welcome treat to help reduce stress, since most employees are getting back aches due to long sitting hours at desks, completing tasks. With such rejuvenating treats from employers, employees will feel better valued and definitely perform better.]]> 2022-12-01 13:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405117673 It would be beneficial if my company is more open about everyone's salary package. They should also explain the reason they get such a package. This way there won't be any discrepancies. I have seen alot of problems come up because they found out each others salary. Moreover when they get increment or promotion, they will be more aware how much they should be getting paid. https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405118673 Is this Kader's?]]> 2022-12-01 13:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405118673 Desmond https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405119784 I would recommend my company to adopt more team building events such as volunteering work, team bonding activities so as to bring everybody closer and more bonded together as a family instead of just colleagues. ]]> 2022-12-01 13:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405119784 Pearl Lynn pearllynnpl https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405125419 I would recommend that the company adopts a certain aspect of remote working. Now that the Covid-19 restrictions have lightened up, instead of completely removing work from home, I think it is feasible to have a mix of both. It has already been proven that it is possible to work from home. Rather than subjecting employees to rush hours, they can use that time to rest. It helps to increase productivity and allows company to perform better.

Investing in employees' personal development training would benefit both employees and the company. Companies should offer paid development during office hours, where employees can attend mandatory training without having to give up their personal time.

This will also allow the staff to maintain a perfect work life balance as compared to now where most of the staffs would need to work until late hours. Also, I would suggest my company to give birthday leave (to enjoy a day off).]]> 2022-12-01 15:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405297013 Teresa https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405569114 I would suggest company to offer remote working with flexible hours for staff, just like how we used to work during Covid’19 period, even though sometimes working hours might be longer at home, at least employee could have more quality time to spent with their family. ]]> 2022-12-01 18:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2405569114 Siti Suhana https://padlet.com/tyl8/v8vke439uybkka6i/wish/2406469165 I would recommend my company to have a monthly check in on the well being of their employees such as mental and health welfare as to help overcome any problem or lessen the stress , issues that their employees might be going through. Doing so will help to build a stronger relationship between employer and employee.
