Employers Boosting Work-Life Balance Benefits

I read an article in ere.net a recruiting community website Click Here for Article which talks about the benefits of boosting work-life balance benefits. A survey conducted by hiring managers, recruiters, and human resource professionals found out  "unlike the flashy perks and glitzy giveaways some offered in the frenetic late 1990′s, companies are now increasingly focused on ‘bennies’ that support their employees’ sense of work-life balance."
This JobKite survey revealed that "56 percent of the 263 responding companies have made some significant enhancements to the employee benefits they are offering for retention or recruiting purposes, with most geared toward improving the quality of employees’ work and home lives." Such benefits include increased vacation time, alternative working arrangements such as flex time or telecommuting etc
This survey proves that employee retention and satisfaction can be accomplished not only by offering high perks but also other benefits which boost work-life balance such as telecommuting, flexible scheduling and extended paid time off.
Those employers who will quickly enhance or boost their  work-life balance benefits will reap the benefits of employee loyalty and retention.
