Workforce priority shift: work-life balance now key to retention

Work-life integration is now a growing universal employee requirement, outweighing salary for the first time since JLL Research began tracking and surveying global employee sentiment concerning overall workplace behaviors, performance and work-life balance. While salary and flexibility remain fundamental, employers that focus solely on these factors risk overlooking the emotional dimensions of work—staying energized, having a sense purpose and receiving recognition for their work efforts – all of these factors are critical to sustaining long-term performance and employee retention.

Happy Employees = Thriving Organisations Employee happiness is not a perk—it’s the foundation of organisational growth. Happy employees don’t just work; they thrive, innovate, and take ownership. Happiness at work goes beyond salary—it comes from respect, recognition, empowerment, engagement, valuing ideas, thoughtful gestures, and supporting work-life balance. When these elements are in place, employees feel trusted, motivated, and connected to the organisation’s mission. They stay longer, contribute more, and help the organisation grow sustainably. Leaders who treat their teams with empathy, fairness, and genuine care don’t just build a workforce—they build a culture that attracts talent, fosters loyalty, and drives real impact.

"Nearly nine in ten (88%) UK employees agree that businesses focussed on caring for their staff are more likely to retain employees for longer, according to poll findings published yesterday (7 October) by employee engagement platform Reward Gateway." Caring employers retain staff longer and it’s no surprise. What a brilliant, good news article to read this morning 👏 This HR Magazine article highlights what we see every day at SimpliciB: when employers genuinely care about wellbeing, people stay, grow, and thrive. Caring isn’t a perk, it’s a strategy. When we look after the whole person from food and mood to stress and mindset we build loyalty, energy, and real connection at work. It’s time to move beyond tick-box wellbeing and make care part of company culture. #hr #wellbeing #employer #employee

Why ‘one-size-fits-all’ employee benefits no longer work. The world of work has changed. Employees expect more than just the basics they want benefits that speak to their life (not just their work hours). Here are three reasons why personalised benefits matter: - They drive engagement because people actually use them. - They help retention: When your people feel valued, they stay. - They simplify HR burdens: One smart platform can cover many needs. At Beny, we’re addressing this by combining broad access to perks with wellbeing-insights and ease of use. When was the last time your organisation discussed benefits and your EVP strategy? #PeopleAndCulture #EmployeeBenefits #Wellbeing

Are your people feeling the pinch? Origin’s Employee Insights Report 2025 shows 9 in 10 employees feel cost-of-living pressure, and 61% believe their employer should offer more support.  “Imagine easing $1,000+ in living costs per employee with an investment of just $30 per person per year—a strong ROI for your most valuable asset: your people.” That’s where Beny comes in. More and more Australian organisations use Beny as an employee value program (not just a benefits app) to lift retention and stand out in hiring. #emplyeebenefits #costofliving #financialstress

Today's employers often find themselves managing a diverse workforce consisting of up to four distinct generations. This mix of employees brings unique qualities and experiences to the table. By implementing flexible benefit plans and having a comprehensive understanding of how choices impact individuals, employers can greatly enhance decision-making outcomes. By understanding the psychology of choice and effectively communicating these benefit plans, employers can boost employee engagement and satisfaction levels.
