Flexible working hours, employer-sponsored retirement plans and overtime pay: these are the top three employee benefits, according to an international study released on Monday.
Conducted by the human resources specialist Remote, this study was obtained on the basis of a survey conducted in February among 10,000 workers representative of the population of the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands. and the UK.
Among the list of benefits offered, a disconnection policy, optical insurance and virtual group activities are the ones that garner the least votes.
American employees turn out to be particularly attached to paid leave, from which they benefit little, as well as to the high coverage of health costs by their company to compensate for a system that is mainly private and expensive.
The French less fond of teleworking
In all of the countries surveyed, the desire for flexibility is strong, but is expressed differently depending on nationality, age and gender.
The French are thus the least fond of teleworking, unlike the Dutch.
The need for flexible working hours is also greater among women than among men and among employees with children than without children.
Finally, it differs by professional sector: employees from human resources and IT are more favorable to it than those from production or marketing/advertising, for example.
Finally, in terms of the means to be deployed to improve well-being in the office, the French, Germans and Dutch highlight the provision of healthy food, while the British and Americans favor the allocation of monthly hours of leave intended for mental health.
