Edenred provides broader HR support to Belgian companies with a range of employee benefits. In Belgium, too, we have a veritable ‘War on Talent’. The talent pool is too small for the large number of companies fishing in it.
So every employer has to make sure they go that extra mile. And we are not just talking about the salary package. As an employer, you can already convince a lot of talents with a strong mission and vision. But that doesn’t fill them up.
In practice, of course, the paycheck remains vital for every employee. A competitive salary, supplemented with employee benefits, should not be underestimated. There exists a wide range of extra-legal benefits in Belgium.
