It is no longer a secret that a good salary is no longer the only decisive factor for many employees when job choice is no longer a secret. Companies know that they need to offer their employees to retain them in the long term and attract new colleagues. For example, a good working atmosphere and opportunities to balance work and private life work-life balance are important to many people.

Benefits as a solution for employee retention

What is needed are good benefits. These are attractive additional benefits that companies can offer their employees on top of their salary, setting them apart from the competition. These benefits can come in many different forms. Free drinks at work, a mobility allowance for the commute to work, on-site childcare or team events. There are numerous options that companies can use to improve the everyday working lives of their employees. But they almost all have one thing in common: they favour employees who work on-site. Many benefits offer no advantage for employees who work mostly from home or working from home or completely remotely - like onyo. With free fruit and drinks, you can employees who may live - and work - hundreds of kilometres away cannot be lured out from behind the stove. Yet, so many benefits can be easily transferred to the home office.
