Is Your Benefits Package Driving Filipino Employees Away? Here’s How to Fix It with Flexicare

In today's competitive job market in the Philippines, companies can no longer afford to ignore the impact of their employee benefits packages. If your best people are handing in their resignations or quietly disengaging, your benefits package may be a bigger part of the problem than you realize. The good news? Solutions like Flexicare can help turn things around quickly. 

The Link Between Benefits and Employee Retention 

Employees today want more than just a paycheck. Benefits now play a crucial role in where people choose to work—and whether they stay. A 2024 report revealed that over 60% of employees would leave their jobs for better benefits elsewhere. 

Recent Trends in Filipino Employee Expectations 

• Mental health support 

• Flexible working benefits 

• Financial wellness tools 

• Personalization options 

If your package doesn’t align with these, you’re at risk of losing your talent pool. 

7 Alarming Reasons Your Benefits Package is Failing Filipino Employees 

1.Lack of Personalization 

Not every employee wants the same benefits. Younger employees may prefer student loan assistance, while older staff might prioritize health insurance. A cookie-cutter plan just won’t cut it. 

2.Outdated Health Coverage 

If your health plan hasn’t been updated in years, chances are it’s not meeting employee needs. Rising healthcare costs mean outdated coverage can leave staff feeling vulnerable. 

3.Insufficient Mental Health Support 

According to recent studies, workplace stress is at an all-time high. Employees expect access to counseling, mental wellness apps, and stress management tools. 

4.No Flexibility in Benefits 

Today’s employees demand choice. They want to pick and choose benefits that fit their lifestyle. Lack of flexibility often results in dissatisfaction. 

5.Poor Communication of Benefits 

Even great benefits are useless if employees don’t know about them. Regular, clear communication is critical. 

6.Limited Financial Wellness Options 

Financial stress impacts work performance. Employees now look for support like retirement planning, debt counseling, and emergency savings plans. 

7.One-Size-Fits-All Approach 

Your workforce is diverse. Your benefits should reflect that. Different life stages, family situations, and health needs require varied options. 

The True Cost of Employee Turnover in the Philippines Due to Poor Benefits 

Direct Costs 

• Recruitment fees 

• Onboarding and training costs 

• Lost productivity during vacancy periods 

  
  

Indirect Costs 

• Decline in team morale 

• Increased burnout among remaining staff 

• Damage to employer brand 

  
  

Impact on Team Morale and Productivity 

A revolving door of employees can demoralize your core team, lower productivity, and increase absenteeism.
