Perks Valued More Than Pay Raises
It may or may not be surprising to HR professionals and managers that pay raises aren’t always an employee’s top priority. On the contrary, several cite that they value more than a raise.
According to Glassdoor’s Q3 2015 Employment Confidence Survey, “nearly four in five (79%) of employees would prefer new or additional benefits to a pay increase. Specifically, more women (82%) than men (76%) prefer benefits or perks to a pay raise.
And, younger employees aged 18-34 (89%) and 35-44 (84%) prefer benefits or perks to pay raises when compared to those aged 45-54 (70%) and 55-64 (66%).”
