Most of the time, working professionals get fed up with their monotonous and tiring jobs and decide to quit. They take a step back either because of losing interest, missing the driving force and zeal, the tedious nature of work or a lack of appreciation and rewards. The last reason is quite a big one and the most common for employees to switch jobs or take early retirement. Having said all that, it is also a prevalent fact that many of the employees also stick with the same organization for a long time due to the presence of the same aspect, i.e. recognition and employment benefits.

You won’t believe but the labor laws and company policies today are all rolled out in favor of the employees only. From government schemes like EPF and the ease of online PF withdrawal, the ESI regime to the gratuity payment among others, organizations try to provide whatever best they can for employee welfare. Along with this, there are several other organizational perks that employees enjoy from hiring to retiring.

Let us have a quick look at 5 of the best employment benefits that everyone tends to forget or ignore:

Continuing Educational Pursuits

There are ‘n’ number of career opportunities that a company can provide you with. For instance, the employers enroll you in various educational courses and certification programs like PGDM/ MBA with fee reimbursements and proper time relaxation to complete the same. You can pursue the same along with your full-time employment and payment. These courses and degree programs can help you grow rapidly in your career and get better opportunities in the future.

Paid Leaves/ Attendance Regularization

Now this one is a slightly undermined perk that organizations give to their employees and is often taken for granted. Let us highlight the fact that it is a very important benefit of being associated with a corporate establishment. Since you are allowed to take leaves with full payment (under special circumstances), work at the leisure of your homes sometimes and arrive late/ leave early on certain days, it is definitely an advantage that you can’t just neglect. 

Employment Funds and Schemes

As mentioned above, there are plenty of government employee benefits schemes that almost every working professional is registered for. Be it EPF, ESI, NPS or Gratuity, they all have equal advantages. And on top of that, how easy the functionality has become like online PF withdrawal and ESI calculation is simply commendable.

Incentives, Bonus and Rewards

These are the most common perks of working with a good organization. The monthly target-based incentives, the designation change and promotions, performance-based awards and acknowledgement, etc. are proof that the employers value your contributions and care for you.

 

Business Trips/ Office Tours

Last, you can also travel both nationally and internationally to explore places and gain business exposure in the name of business tripps without having to worry about the expenses. So it’s time to start noticing how your employers walk the extra mile just to keep the employee retention and satisfaction levels high.
