It's not just about the paycheck anymore.
According to Kate Renwick-Espinosa, many people in the U.S. are seeking jobs that align with their values and bring a sense of purpose to their life.
As president of VSP Vision Care, the nation's first and only national not-for-profit vision benefits company, Renwick-Espinosa says that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought time for people to be introspective and think about how they are valued in their work—which includes the benefits that they receive.
She notes that two-thirds of employees are reconsidering what kind of work they want to do, which is causing a shift with employers who are looking to offer something more than the typical benefits.
"Employers are caring for employees beyond their workday and that means caring for the overall health and wellness," says Renwick-Espinosa. And vision care benefits are an important part of meeting their needs, she notes, with annual eye exams playing a critical role in the early detection of a wide variety of health issues.
Renwick-Espinosa says that VSP's purpose of— empowering human potential through sight — helps guide them to create benefit offerings that can have a positive impact.
"There are so many opportunities to support overall health and VSP is working closely with employers to advance these benefits and improve employees' lives."
