These difficult economic times are a challenge for businesses on all sorts of levels. However, most experts agree that with careful management it is possible to negotiate difficult periods and come out stronger at the other end. One of the key areas that an business can increase its survival potential is to utilise its existing assets in a more effective manner – and its staff and by far the most valuable assets that any company has.

Human resource professionals are coninutally ponting out why offering staff incentives and benfits can have many positive effects across the board. Increasing morale and sense of wellbeing amongst existing staff will lead to increased productivity levels, whilst it will be easier to attract a higher calibre of candidate for any jobs that you have offered if they feel that they are going to become part of a company which nurtures and develops their career.

The Oracle Blog has an excellent post on some of the key principles that increase retention levels amongst staff, including:

- Education and training opportunities- Flexible schedules- Work environment- Social environment- Pay- Health Insurance benefits- Employee recognition programmes- Paid time off- Retirement programmes- Telecommuting opportunities

We would like to ask our readers their thoughts and opinions on job perks.

We look forward to hearing from you.
