Extra-legal benefits, incentives and extras: what are they worth?

Standard pay is increasingly being extended with extra-legal benefits, including meal vouchers, group insurance and a company car. Incentives and extra benefits such as flexible working also gain in importance and often weigh more than just the gross wage. According to our survey, 21% of respondents would surrender gross wages for additional benefits.

As the war for talent is a genuine reality in today’s employment market, employers are embracing three main solutions to attract, secure and retain the right talent in these conditions: faster hiring times, flexible hiring strategies, and competitive remuneration packages.
