Why family-building benefits are necessary for modern employer coverage

Retaining and attracting top talent is no small feat, especially in the modern working world. Although headlines about The Great Resignation have subsided, 1 in 3 employees still plans to find a new job in 2023, according to industry research.

This stat is a double-edged sword for recruiters. It suggests the stagnant labor market will soon become comparably fluid. Yet, it also demonstrates that workers are highly motivated to find a different employer in the new year, especially if their work life doesn’t meet expectations. To retain these high-performing workers — and recruit top talent — employers must provide meaningful incentives.

Heading into 2023, benefits that boost productivity and retention will be more critical than ever. But what qualifies as a significant benefits package? Instead of hosting Taco Tuesdays or placing foosball tables in the lounge, employers must provide life-affirming offerings that impact workers on and off the job. Here is why family-building benefits classify as essential for employees and organizational success.
