How Some Companies Are Using Unique Incentives to Attract Talent
One in three U.S. workers doesn’t want to work for an employer that requires them to be onsite full-time, even after the pandemic is over, according to a recent survey by insurance company Prudential. Another survey by Envoy, a maker of workplace safety tools, found that nearly half of employees say they will likely look for another job if their current employer does not offer a hybrid workplace.
While this is not always possible in the horticulture industry, an Inc.com article notes that between workers’ continued safety concerns, child care hurdles, and eligibility for additional unemployment benefits, employers nationwide are struggling to fill positions. As a result, many companies are trying a range of new tactics to find and keep job candidates willing to work in-person.
Some of the innovative recruiting programs and incentives U.S. companies have put in place during the pandemic include:
- Offering bonuses and stipends to receive COVID-19 vaccinations
- Holding online or in-person, socially distanced recruiting events
- Promoting employee wellness programs
