Modern Workforce, Old Benefits
💡 The Workforce Has Changed — Have Your Employee Benefits Kept Up?
You’ve worked hard to grow your business. You’ve passed the initial growth stage. Your operations are stabilizing. Your team is expanding.
But here’s the question: Is your people management function keeping up?
🌍 Around the world, forward-thinking companies are already upgrading their employee benefits to cover emerging wellness needs. These aren’t “luxury perks”, they’re becoming standard in talent retention strategies.
💰 And here’s the surprise: This isn’t just for big corporations. These solutions are designed to be extremely affordable for SMEs, with costs that are a fraction of what you might expect.
Your employees are no longer the same as they were 20 years ago. They marry later. Start families later. Face new pressures in lifestyle, dating, and mental well-being.
These aren’t just social shifts, they carry real business costs. In Singapore:
61% of employees report experiencing burnout, with Gen Z being the most affected at 68%.
SMEs face average employee turnover rates of 14.4%, with replacement costs ranging from 16% to over 200% of an employee's annual salary, depending on role and seniority.
Yet most employee benefit packages are still designed for a workforce that no longer exists.
Many SMEs are unknowingly paying a hidden price: burnout, turnover, and escalating medical responsibilities under MOM guidelines.
WHAT IF there were affordable solutions that could:
Position your company as one of the forward-thinking SMEs in Singapore to act on emerging employee wellness needs
Deliver these solutions at a fraction of what most SMEs expect to pay — yes, very affordable and accessible
Reduce cashflow risks from employee medical claims.
Minimize the huge hidden cost of rehiring and replacing top talent.
