Nearly 30% of organizations would also allocate greater amounts for ethical and social benefits for their employees.

After the health and prevention programs offered by companies around the world became one of the most needed benefits since the beginning of the pandemic, in the coming years organizations will seek to implement improvements in this service.

According to a recent report by global insurance and consulting firm Marsh, 46% of companies plan to invest more in health insurance as part of their long-term benefits plan.

Social welfare and benefits

Social benefits are another of the services that companies will be promoting in the coming years. Thus, 28% of the organizations would establish higher amounts for ethical and social benefits.

 

Worker appreciation

Marsh's research involving 500 companies around the world also shows that support from employers, especially for the health aspect in times of pandemic, is highly valued by workers.

In that sense, 62% of employees surveyed reported having received good or very good support during the pandemic and feel that their employer cares about their health and well-being; while 77% feel energized at work and 44% are less likely to leave their job.
