More than half of all Americans surveyed believe they would be more
productive if they had a greater interest in the companies that
employ them through benefits such as profit sharing, according to
the latest survey from workforce solutions leader Kelly Services
(NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB).
The findings are part of the Kelly Global Workforce Index, which
obtained the views of approximately 134,000 people, including
almost 13,000 in the United States.
The survey found 25 percent of workers are currently in an
arrangement where some of their pay is tied to performance targets.
Gen X (aged 30-47) employees are much more likely to be receiving
performance-based pay than Gen Y (aged 18-29) or those in the Baby
Boomer generation (aged 48-65). Men are also more frequently in
performance pay plans than women.
However, of those not receiving performance pay, almost a third
(31 percent) say they would be more productive if their earnings
were connected to performance outcomes, particularly Gen Y and
males.
Additionally, the survey found there is strong support for
employers taking a more proactive role in improving the health of
their workforce, with 84 percent saying that employer-provided
health initiatives should be part of their employment package.
Kelly Services Executive Vice President and General Manager Mike
Webster says, "There is a high degree of interest from employees in
having a portion of their compensation tied to the financial
performance of their employers. However, the survey also suggests
that non-financial compensation including wellness programs are
gaining appeal. These programs can yield benefits for both
employers and employees by creating a more productive and energetic
work environment."
Other results of the survey in the United States about employee
benefits and perks shows:
- 51 percent say that profit sharing would motivate them to
perform at a higher level.
- Among major U.S. regions, the largest concentration of workers
receiving performance-based pay is in northern New Jersey and
Memphis, Tennessee (both 33 percent), followed by Portland, Oregon
(32 percent), Tampa, Florida; New York City; and Raleigh-Durham,
North Carolina (all 31 percent).
- Those industries with the highest rates of performance-based
compensation are financial services, travel & leisure, retail,
and business services.
- Aside from salary, the reward that rates highest is health
benefits, followed by flexible hours, and retirement benefits.
- More than two-thirds (67 percent) believe that employers should
provide incentives to encourage a healthier lifestyle for such
changes as quitting smoking, losing weight, or taking up
exercise.
- The employer-provided health benefit that is most attractive is
health insurance, followed by gym access or discounts, a smoke-free
environment, and corporate exercise programs.
