Is it possible to choose how to receive benefits at work?

Today, offering benefits at work that are really interesting to the employee is essential for any company that wants to achieve success, reduce turnover and retain its best talent. However, with a diversity of profiles and preferences, it can be challenging to make this kind of decision.

When it comes to accepting or not a job offer, you don't only look at the salary, do you? That "something extra" that organizations offer can be the differential that makes someone join - or not - in a new journey.

Choosing which benefits you want to receive is the best way around this issue, but is it possible? Find out this and other information on the subject in the article below!

An overview of benefits from an employee perspective

According to the Brazilian Professionals survey, developed by the job opportunity search platform Catho, the benefits seen as most valuable by employees are:

1. medical assistance - 74.6%;
2. profit sharing - 57.2%;
3. food vouchers - 52.4%;
4. meal voucher - 50.7%;

Also according to the survey, there is a difference between what companies offer nowadays and what employees consider important to accept a hiring proposal.

Of course, it is also necessary to consider that, besides the profile of the workers, the company also chooses the benefits based on its organisational culture, its vision and its values. It is already known that this traditional model has pleased the majority, but how to get around this? By implementing a flexible benefits system!

What are flexible benefits?

If you've come this far to find out if it's possible to choose which benefits you receive at work, you've come to the right place. Here, we have the answer to your question, and it's yes!

There are legal ways that, under the backing of the new CLT, allow organisations to offer their employees what we call flexible benefits.

In this model, benefits can be negotiated with the company according to your needs. This way, based on the values offered by the organisation, you can choose exactly what you're going to spend it on. Incredible, isn't it?

This practice, besides being more advantageous for you, also helps to solve an issue that is becoming increasingly important within companies: the generation shock.

Today, what is of great importance to a young person in Generation Y may not carry as much weight for baby boomers, for example. With flexible work benefits, differences are catered for and everyone can be satisfied.
