Flexible working conditions, a no-brainer for HR

Feb 1, 2023

Why we believe that flexible working conditions are a no-brainer for HR.

Are you looking for a way to improve the employee experience and increase employee satisfaction? Then it is likely that you have come across the term 'flexible benefits'. But what are flexible benefits and why are they so important for the current job market?

Flexible working conditions. What is it?

Flexible compensation is a new approach to employment benefits. There is not one fixed benefits package available for everyone. Instead, there is a wide range of benefits to choose from. At Alleo, we call it flexible benefits, because employees can select their own benefits. The flexibility lies in the fact that the choices can be different every month.

Imagine, you just graduated and started your first job. What could be more appealing than a mobility package to ease the costs of your commuting? Or how about the option to have your vacation pay distributed flexibly? That can be more than welcome for expensive, unplanned, but necessary expenses.

Maybe your employee just started a family. Don't they have very different needs than a newcomer? Flexible benefits enable your employees to choose exactly what they need, when they need it.

Benefits of flexible benefits

There are several reasons why we at Alleo believe that flexible benefits are the future for HR:

Personalization of benefits. Everyone wants something different. This makes it challenging to create a benefits package that appeals to all your employees. Not only do several different generations work together in the workplace today, but there are also the personal interests of everyone to consider. Generalizing people will not achieve significant results.
Employee satisfaction. By giving employees the opportunity to choose their own benefits, they are likely to feel more valued and more engaged with the company. In this way, employee satisfaction or 'employee engagement' increases.
Satisfaction and productivity. With benefits that match employees' wishes, you can also expect more satisfied employees. This increased employee satisfaction can then lead to higher productivity. Happy employees are productive employees.
Attracting talent. When looking for a new job, employees look not only at salary but also at secondary benefits. Pensions and travel expenses are important, but by offering flexible benefits, a company can distinguish itself from other employers. In a tight job market, that distinction can just be what helps attract talent. Offering a flexible compensation package shows that you take into account the individual needs of your employees.
Lower costs as an employer. Our automated administration is another major advantage. You only deal with Alleo. You receive the invoice from us.

Instead of having to find each benefit yourself, contact the provider, negotiate and sign a contract, we take care of all that. Better yet, we already have it arranged: our platform is already full of benefits – more than 250 unique partners to be precise, including 10,000+ sports locations and 100,000+ trainings & courses - and often with great discounts for your employees. Every month we add new exciting benefits. And you don’t have to do anything for that.

The future of HR

We believe it's time to move away from the one-size-fits-all mentality.

At Alleo, we believe that every employee is different and has different needs. By listening to the needs and wishes of your employees, you will likely quickly realize that everyone wants something different. Employees want something that personally fits them, their age, their lifestyle, their personality. And that is precisely what flexible benefits offer.

Why Alleo?

At Alleo, we understand the importance of flexible working conditions. We have developed a user-friendly solution that allows employees to choose their own benefits. Because we believe that a personal approach to compensation best meets the diverse wishes and life stages of employees. Sounds good, right?

Through the Alleo platform, employees receive a monthly budget that they can spend on the flexible benefits that suit them best.

Attractive employer brand

As an employer, you stand out with a strong and personalized benefits package among competing companies. Because think about it: if every employee can choose the secondary benefits that make them happy, aren't they also more motivated and engaged in their work?
