Being a permanent employee of a company comes with many different benefits. As well as the standard safety net of a steady month on month wage and job stability, permanent employment in 2023 may come with an array of additional lifestyle benefits such as health insurance, discounts and additional ‘duvet days’ to name just a few. Of course, these benefits will differ from company to company but if you’re thinking about changing from temporary, freelance or fixed term work, take a look at some of the common benefits that may be on offer!
Job Security
Permanent employment offers security that other forms of working may not. When employed permanently there will be no specified end date and you won’t be left at a loose end after a particular length of time. This type of security is great, particularly for those with commitments financially such as mortgages or other credit agreements.
Financial Security
In addition to job security permanent roles offer the stability of a regular payslip. You can make major plans such as buying a house or car or taking a well-deserved holiday! In contract work or freelance roles, this can sometimes be difficult because your earnings may not be regular. This type of financial security can also help you to feel more at ease and less stressed!
Professional Development
Having a permanent employment contract often means that you have the opportunity to take part in professional development and training opportunities. This is great for personal development and self-esteem!
Professional Relationships
Having a regular work schedule along with colleagues allows the employee an opportunity to create close professional relationships. This is something that people on fixed term or temporary contracts who tend to switch roles regularly may struggle with. Professional relationships help to form company culture and sense of belonging. This is a great motivator for employees and helps them go the extra mile!
Career Progression
In permanent roles, it is likely that building on professional relationships combined with training and development provided allow you to progress within a company and work your way up the career ladder to reach your goals.
Incentives and other exclusive benefits
Permanent employees can be eligible for incentives and other benefits. Some companies may offer discounts on services or goods, vouchers and even bonuses to promote loyalty.
