40% of businesses DON’T offer the most valued employee benefit.

Flexible working was named as the most valued employee benefit in StaffCircle’s research, yet 40% of employers DO NOT offer this valued working practice. More than a third of UK employees stated they would leave their job if not offered flexible working options.

Both businesses and employees placed supportive, open and transparent management as their second-highest workplace priority.

Honest, transparent and supportive working experience ranked highly on the list of priorities for employees and employers alike. In order to attract and retain the best employees, employers need to consider their current internal processes and evaluate their culture.

Employees value benefits, but employers don’t prioritise them.

StaffCircle’s research revealed that employees believe that a competitive benefits package is the fourth most important work practice, whereas less than half of companies offer them. Benefits packages don’t have to rely on salary to be competitive, offering meaningful benefits such as insurance, mental health support, or access to discounts.
