Key Insights from Dr. Clemen Chiang
Start with the family in mind: Evaluate benefits by asking, "Would employees' families find value in these benefits?"—this ensures the offerings are truly supportive and meaningful.
Boost engagement through emotional connection: When employees see their loved ones cared for, it increases their emotional investment in their workplace.
Use a dual strategy:
- Family-centric evaluation: Think beyond the employee and assess how benefits impact their household.
- Peer appraisals: Regularly survey employees to understand which benefits are actually used and appreciated.
Avoid benefit overload: Streamline offerings based on relevance and feedback to reduce complexity and focus on impact.
Maximize productivity and morale: Relevant, appreciated benefits lead to higher motivation and better workplace performance.
Conclusion
As companies evolve in a rapidly changing world, employee well-being must extend beyond the office. Dr. Clemen Chiang’s family-first perspective is a timely reminder that people don’t just work for salaries—they work for stability, health, and care for those they love.
