Employee benefits – what you need to know

What happens when employees are not motivated and engaged in their duties? It usually results in a lack of attention to detail, a lack of commitment to work, and doing only the bare minimum required. The consequences for the company are well-known. Therefore, a thoughtful motivational system, and consequently employee benefits, should not be an occasional feature of the company but one of its pillars.

Where to start?

It might seem that motivating employees is a straightforward task, but it is actually a complex process that many employers either forget about or, worse, execute poorly. Often, the simplest route chosen is bonuses. At first glance, bonuses seem like a great solution—after all, who wouldn't want extra money? Certainly, but firstly, it is a significant cost; secondly, it is not the most effective strategy. Why? Well, if an employee is satisfied with their base salary, they might value a positive work environment over additional money! Moreover, regular additional deposits become a routine, and motivation begins to decline again. In such a situation, you either need to increase the bonus or introduce something new that is more appealing. This is where employee benefit systems come in, as discussed in our article “And So We All Find Ourselves in Transition, Make Use of This Window. A Fresh Take on Employee Benefits.”

Employee benefits – how to start?

Everyone likes to be appreciated and rewarded—reward systems are deeply rooted in our psychology and are fundamental to daily functioning. It's worth leveraging this, but how do you do it effectively? First and foremost, employers must understand that every individual is different and various things can motivate them. Additionally, diversity in employee benefits is crucial—otherwise, they lose their appeal. How can this be managed, especially if you are an employer in a large company? It’s challenging to personally know all employees... Enter increasingly popular platforms like Nais, which focus on non-cash benefit systems. These platforms allow employees to receive a set amount of money and choose how to spend it. Gym memberships, cultural activities, dining out, fashion, health, team-building activities, or even daily shopping? With such diversity, the employer doesn’t need to invest increasingly more resources to maintain the attractiveness of employee benefits. Additionally, they can monitor how employees use their benefits, gaining more insight into their needs! Sounds good, right?

Employee benefits with Nais

Young employees increasingly value benefits, and this value is expected to rise with each passing year, so it’s better not to ignore it. Popular benefits include medical care, sports cards, training funding, and fruit days...

As you can see, the mentioned non-cash benefits are quite... typical. It’s even better if you use or plan to use Nais—our range of employee benefits is much broader, more varied, and therefore, everyone should find something they like!
