Retirement ProvisionA good retirement provision is an important factor for many employees when choosing their job and can also be seen as an alternative to a salary increase. This can, for example, be a company pension scheme in which the employer automatically pays part of the salary into a fund for the pension scheme. The offer of special payments, such as holiday or Christmas bonuses, can also be viewed as a valuable alternative to a salary increase.
Company carA company car is a great incentive for many employees. This is a car that the employee can also use privately and the employer pays for the costs. Not only can this reduce costs for the worker, but it can also increase their mobility and help them feel valued in their job. In Austria, electric vehicles are even exempt from benefits in kind.
Company equipmentIn addition to a company car, the offer of company equipment, such as a laptop or a smartphone, can be seen as an alternative to a salary increase. These are devices that the employee needs for his work and that are made available to him by the employer. This relieves the employee's finances, since they no longer have to purchase their own devices.
Other ways to add value to a job beyond salary:
-
Time flexibility: Employers can offer their employees time flexibility by allowing them to work from home or on part-time models.
-
Opportunities for further training: An attractive range of further training options can help employees feel motivated and encouraged and improve their skills.
-
Workplace health promotion: Employers can offer health promotion programs such as massages, sports courses or ergonomic work environments.
-
Leisure activities: A grant for leisure activities or joint events with employees can help them feel valued and valued.
-
Recognition and Appreciation: Simple things like a thank you note, congratulations on a special occasion, or praise in a team meeting can help employees feel valued and motivated.
It is important that employers respond to the needs and desires of their employees and work together to find solutions that are satisfactory for all parties involved.
