2025 Perks and Employee Benefits

Benefits and perks play a powerful role in recruiting. Offering packages that include what professionals want most beyond salary can sway top candidates. In response, many organizations are adding some offerings and enhancing others, most notably healthcare, paid time off (PTO) and flexible work options.

As the volume of available employee benefits and perks grows, companies must understand what competitors provide and workers value — and tailor their offerings accordingly. Benchmarking their data against the market, including organizations of similar size, can help inform companies how best to enhance their programs and stand out in a competitive hiring environment.
