Skilled tradespeople want more than just a paycheck.
Although a consistent paycheck is still the most essential aspect of a job, skilled tradespeople are demanding additional benefits. These include healthcare, retirement, and work-lifestyle benefits.
Employers are also aware of the need to offer benefits to be more competitive in the current candidate-friendly hiring market. Here’s what the benefits experts at Benefits Pro had to say in a recent article:
Heading into 2022, we’ll see employers implementing new strategies to recruit workers, as well as amping up employee benefits, compensation and other perks to existing keep workers happy and engaged. Even after the Great Resignation ebbs, these new tactics will likely become the new standard.
