Meet the Authors
SAP organizations are always on the lookout for new and advanced solutions like AI and automation. To implement these capabilities, companies need skilled and experienced talent. Yet SAPinsider research has shown that a lack of skills is a major impediment to adopting advanced technologies.
To attract these skilled workers and plug any talent gaps, organizations must ensure that they have a positive company culture and cooperative work environment. Building a strong corporate culture should be more than just a selling point for new hires. Fostering such an organization not only helps with recruitment but has been shown to bolster productivity and financial performance, improve employee satisfaction, and enhance an organization’s overall image.
Boosting Benefits, Bolstering Corporate Culture
While every organization wants to say it has a positive corporate culture, that is not always the case. However, there are concrete steps a business can take to ensure it offers its employees the chance to have a positive working experience. This often starts with employee benefits.
The benefits administration experts at PlanSource highlighted several key examples to help organization understand how benefits are the bedrock of a strong company culture:
Ensuring Work-Life Balance: All employees need some work-life balance. Providing child-care benefits, flexible hours, and remote work options can make a significant difference in the lives of parents, helping them be more productive at work.
Growth Opportunities: Employees strive to advance in their careers, so providing professional development and pathways to advancement is critical to fostering a positive working environment.
Maximizing Health and Wellness: While comprehensive insurance options are likely a given for many organizations, additional wellness programs and health resources can go a long way to ensure employees feel valued.
Social Responsibility: Many people are driven at work by the knowledge that they are making the world a better place. Companies can help fill this need by providing volunteer days, charitable matching, and green initiatives.
Streamlining Benefits Administration
Offering these benefits should, in theory, be enough to improve company culture. Yet the reality is that many organizations struggle with employee engagement or clunky interfaces that make it difficult for employees to access the benefits that they are entitled to.
To help companies and employees make the most of their benefits package, PlanSource offers its comprehensive Benefits Platform. The solution provides a one-stop-shop for employees to find the benefits that will improve their lives, while also automating data and task management objectives to free up HR team members to work on other important tasks.
This platform offers enhanced employee engagement, ensuring that workers understand and appreciate the benefits they can access. It also allows companies to design a benefits package that aligns with the overall company culture they want to build, allowing them to craft a healthy, positive, and driven company culture.
