Employee Benefits Trends for the Manufacturing Industry

AEIS Manufacturing Benefits Consulting Services

Every business is unique unto itself - just like no two industries are created equally. This is to say that there is no "one size fits all" approach to putting together an employee benefits package that satisfies and engages your workforce. In an industry that is so heavily dependent on the hard work that employees are doing on a daily basis like manufacturing, you need to consider their precise needs and wants when putting together something that will meet them while also exceeding their expectations at the same time.

At AEIS, that is precisely what we're prepared to help you do.

Building an Attractive Manufacturing Benefits Package

To put together the best employee benefits package for a manufacturing workforce, there are a number of core elements to keep in mind.

Naturally, you'll want to offer the most competitive salary you can to not only attract top talent, but to retain it as well. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, those in manufacturing make an average of $44,720 per year, but the average salary can vary state to state. At the same time, you'll also want to guarantee job security as much as possible. People don't want temporary positions. They want schedules that don't change on a regular basis so they know they can support their families.



Beyond that you'll want to consider factors like:

• Health and wellness. Embrace modern benefits like flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs) so that workers can take care of their healthcare.
• Family and parenting benefits. If you don't already, consider offering things like maternity and paternity leave.
• Life Insurance. This ensures that your employees and their families have financial protection in case of unexpected events.
