In New Zealand&#8217;s evolving workplace, employees are looking for much more than just a paycheck. So, what truly matters to Kiwi workers beyond their wages?\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From flexible work arrangements to a strong sense of purpose, a variety of factors now play a critical role in attracting and retaining top talent. We&#8217;ll dive into what Kiwi employees are seeking in their roles, and how you can invest in your team members without running your pockets dry. <\/span>\n<h2 id=\"hold-on-times-are-tough-why-think-about-employee-benefits-now\">Hold on, times are tough \u2013\u00a0why think about employee benefits now?<\/h2>\nThe clocks may be changing but 2024 shows little sign of change otherwise, with an ongoing struggling economy making the day-to-day harder than ever for business owners. Budgets are tight and while there\u2019s hope for some relief come summer, it\u2019s going to be a little while before Kiwi businesses can start to phase from \u2018survive\u2019 to \u2018thrive\u2019.\n\nWith that in mind, it can seem an odd time to be examining employee benefits and compensation. Aren&#8217;t there more important topics? There&#8217;s a method to it though \u2013 retention during tough economic times becomes more important than ever.\n\nDid you know that it costs on average <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/state-of-recruitment-report\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$6,429 to advertise a role<\/a> in New Zealand? Should you lose an employee, you won&#8217;t just have to pay out any existing entitlements, you\u2019ll also have to fund any cover while you find a replacement, and then factor in the cost of bringing in a new employee onboard. It can all add up \u2013 and that\u2019s not even including the time spent on interviewing, training and onboarding admin.\n\nIn tough times, it pays to ensure that none of your existing employees are a flight risk, and that they\u2019ll stick with you during this period. It\u2019s an important way to ensure your budget doesn\u2019t get an unexpected dip in the numbers and that your business benefits from consistency.\n<h2 id=\"salary-is-number-one-but-that-doesnt-mean-its-everything\">Salary is number one, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s everything<\/h2>\nIn our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/talent-insights-report\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Talent Insights report<\/a>, a salary increase was the top incentive that employees named as a reason to stay in their existing role. It makes sense \u2013 after all, everyone is doing it tough right now. However, we know that for employers, limited coffers mean that a salary increase can be a big, and at times impossible, step.\n\nIf you\u2019re curious, you can of course benchmark your current salaries \u2013 we happen to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmatch.employmenthero.com\/average-salary\/?type=jobseeker\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free online tool<\/a> to do just that. You might find that you\u2019re offering a competitive rate anyway, which will lend you confidence should your team be pressing for a raise.\n\nEven if your salary isn\u2019t leading in the market, increasing pay packets across your business doesn\u2019t have to be the only solution. We\u2019ve got some ideas to get you started.\n<h2 id=\"what-employees-want-from-their-employer\">What employees want from their employer<\/h2>\nIn our recent <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/wellness-at-work\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wellness at Work survey<\/a>, employees named the following benefits and company investments as reasons to stay with an employer.\n<h3 id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bar chart displaying survey results on the most convincing perks outside of pay that would attract someone to a company. Top responses include 19% for remote and flexible work options, 15% for discounts on everyday essentials, 14% for learning and career development opportunities, 12% each for reward and recognition programs and yearly allowances towards essentials, and smaller percentages for mental health services, access to earned pay, cashback benefits, financial wellbeing tools, volunteering opportunities, and other perks.\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37254 size-full\" height=\"1164\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM.png\" width=\"1580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM.png 1580w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM-1024x754.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM-768x566.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM-1536x1132.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-2.39.55\u202fPM-440x324.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1580px) 100vw, 1580px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"remote-and-flexible-work-options-19\">Remote and flexible work options (19%)<\/h3>\nAs a remote-first business at 91爆料, we\u2019ve certainly seen the benefit of remote work. Our team is based in locations all over the world, but we\u2019ve still been able to hit our goals as one, and our workplace productivity has benefitted as a result.\n\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/wellness-at-work\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stats<\/a> for offering remote or hybrid working arrangements also speak for themselves \u2013 57% of hybrid employees in New Zealand said their overall work-life balance was above average, along with 53% of remote employees. Those fully onsite came in lower at 50%.\n\nWe know that by its nature, remote work isn\u2019t going to suit every business. For example, a bartender can\u2019t serve drinks from a home office, just like how a farm manager can\u2019t check on their crops via Zoom call. Some employers may also prefer to see their team in the office \u2013 including our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/nz\/politics\/watch-live-christopher-luxon-gives-post-cabinet-press-conference\/CL4CTTTEH5AVHABU2PICF7JBUM\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">current Prime Minister<\/a>.\n\nHowever, there are a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/flexible-work-arrangements-best-practices\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">different flexible work options<\/a> that employers can offer their employees that doesn\u2019t mean offering work-from-home full-time. It could be as simple as enabling employees to adjust their working hours for outside commitments, such as childcare, volunteering or appointments.\n\nIf you run a business in multiple locations, it could also involve being flexible around which base the employee works at on certain days. There\u2019s also options such as job sharing and condensed work hours.\n\nAs the top benefit that employees are clamouring for, it could go a long way towards retaining your team. Plus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcamag.com\/au\/news\/general\/catching-the-horizon-increase-productivity-increase-profits\/138730\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">research shows<\/a> that workers with flexibility are the most productive. Almost half of \u2018super achievers\u2019 indicate that they have a lot of flexibility in their role.\n<h3 id=\"discounts-on-everyday-essentials-like-healthcare-fuel-utilities-and-groceries-15\">Discounts on everyday essentials like healthcare, fuel, utilities and groceries (15%)<\/h3>\nThe weekly shop has gotten increasingly wearisome on the wallets for everyone over the last year. Don\u2019t get us started on the prices at the pump either. So, with that in mind, it was unsurprising that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/wellness-at-work\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">employees named discounts<\/a> on everyday essentials as their second most important perk from an employer. For employers, this can be a challenging benefit to bring in. However, it doesn\u2019t have to be impossible.\n\nIt can help to search around and check out what deals are available to you. The economy is affecting other businesses too, so see if you can secure some deals for your team that benefits both sides of the agreement. It\u2019s fairly unlikely that you\u2019ll get a supermarket giant to discount their shelves for your team but local stores and family-run businesses might be interested in a reciprocal deal.\n\nA yearly allowance towards those essentials was also named in our survey, favoured by 12% of those polled. Like salary, this would take a little more out of your budget but if it\u2019s possible for your business, it could be worth considering.\n<h3 id=\"great-learning-and-career-development-opportunities-14\">Great learning and career development opportunities (14%)<\/h3>\nEmployees aren\u2019t just content with clocking in for the day and going through a routine list of tasks. Instead, they\u2019re interested in opportunities to learn and grow their career through their role.\n\nThis is a great thing for employers \u2013\u00a0not only could their new skills and knowledge prove useful for your business, but it shows they\u2019re prepared to really make an impact in your organisation. It\u2019s also been proven that for businesses, enabling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterclass.com\/articles\/why-innovation-is-essential-for-business-success\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">innovation and development is key to getting ahead<\/a>, which could prove crucial during an economic crunch.\n\nHelp your employees help you with some new <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/learning-culture-in-the-workplace\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">learning and career development opportunities<\/a>. One cost-effective method is to bring in a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/products\/employee-learning-management-system\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">learning management system (LMS)<\/a> like the one offered by 91爆料. There\u2019s hundreds of courses on there that your team can choose from, from practical skills to complex technical training, and they can take part in self-directed learning when they have spare time. In one package, you\u2019ve given your employees what they\u2019re looking for and the opportunity to learn.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Stacked cards showcasing different learning modules, including 'Customer Relationship Management' with a 9-minute interactive tag, 'Project Management Module,' and 'Advancing your career.'

It&#8217;s also been proven that employers who <a href=\"https:\/\/haiilo.com\/blog\/employee-engagement-8-statistics-you-need-to-know\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">actively recognise and reward<\/a> their team are more likely to see an uplift in levels of accountability, responsibility and leadership initiatives across the board.\n\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reward and recognition program<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be costly or challenging \u2013\u00a0instead, it can be treated as a cultural change from the top down. For example, creating a working environment where people are celebrated for their work, thank-yous and compliments are a regular occurrence and no good deed goes unrecognised.\n\nHR software like 91爆料 can support this. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/#reward\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Company Feed<\/a> feature allows everyone in a business to share shoutouts in an online noticeboard.
