Nowadays, in the job market, salary is no longer the main competitive advantage for employers. To attract and motivate employees, employers are looking for new ideas and constantly expanding their benefits package. The presence of a benefits package gradually becomes an integral part of the image of a successful and attractive company in the job market.
What is a benefits package?
A benefits package is a set of additional benefits that an employer offers to an employee, in addition to their salary. We can identify the following main areas of additional employee motivation:
- Payment for meals, transportation, and mobile communication;
- Courses and training;
- Rest and team-building activities;
- Organization of sports activities for employees, payment for gym memberships;
- Medical insurance and life insurance.
We are particularly pleased that with each passing year, more and more companies recognize the need for life and health insurance protection for their employees and include life insurance in their benefits packages. Let's discuss this in more detail today.
International experience
The trend of offering a social package came to us from abroad. Of course, in developed countries, it is already a commonplace phenomenon.

Social package in Ukraine
In recent years, Ukrainian companies have significantly expanded their social packages. This is not surprising since offering tea and coffee in the office no longer surprises anyone ;) In the fight for more qualified personnel, prestigious companies strive to provide competitive employment conditions, taking care not only of working conditions but also of the physical, emotional, professional, and spiritual development of employees. In terms of caring for the health of employees, until recently, Ukrainian companies mainly offered voluntary health insurance for employees. Today, employers offering life insurance and additional pension plans are more advantageous in the market.
The pandemic has also made its adjustments, and companies have started adding so-called "anti-COVID packages" to their social packages, which include compensation for PCR tests, insurance in case of COVID, compensation for treatment within specified amounts, provision of masks, and antiseptics.
Another trend in recent years has been wellness programs. These are programs that provide physical and spiritual development for employees, lectures on proper nutrition, proper approach to sports, and providing urgent assistance. All this and even more can be obtained by signing a corporate contract with TAS Life.
