Summary

The Empathic Employer Incentive	In the US alone, 19 million workers quit their jobs between April and September 2021 (McKinsey, 2021). It’s a trend replicating globally, with a quarter of employees worldwide planning on changing employers this year (IBM, 2021). The moment calls for business leaders to boldly reappraise company culture and demonstrate greater empathy.
What Workers Want	Employees are shifting from live-to-work to work-to-live mentalities, after the pandemic forced them to re-evaluate their lifestyle priorities. Consumers are looking to recalibrate in their work-life balance, demanding flexibility as a standard and pursuing value-led employment while banding together to ensure equity for all.
Benefits Reborn	Gone are the days when gimmicky perks were enough to entice a skilled workforce. Now, companies are recalibrating their benefits from ‘nice to haves’ to personal, impactful initiatives that reflect employees’ needs both in and out of the office – think: advanced emotional support, financial wellness resources and upskilling opportunities.
