In August, 130,000 new jobs were created.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of Americans who are currently employed is at a high of 157.9 million,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment expert. \u201cLabor force participation has not been this high since August 2013. While this is great news for employers, it means that companies need to work harder to stand out to prospective hires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with an employment solutions firm such as Employco USA is a wise way to stand out from the pack,\u201d continues Wilson. \u201cNot only will this help increase the number of candidates you reach and help streamline your hiring procedures, but a human resources firm can also help you to establish a robust benefits package.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From an economic standpoint, you need to think in terms not only of salary and health insurance, but also a total compensation package, says Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many benefits which today\u2019s employees are looking for, including whether you match a 401(k), what is the value of the paid time off offered, along with medical, dental, vision, and life insurance\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Wilson also says that many companies are also now thinking outside the box when it comes to offering benefits to employees. \u201cWe work with firms which offer pet insurance plans, or paying a small amount each month towards the employees\u2019 student loans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s young people are coming out of college with massive debt,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cAnd firms which are dedicated to paying off these loans alongside their team will be a top contender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Environment also plays a key role in helping employees choose which company to join.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorkers want to feel like they are joining a team, a team which is excited and eager about their arrival,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThat is why on-boarding is so important, meaning that the new employee is guided not just throughout their first day, but really throughout their first year at the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson also says that company-wide activities like pizza parties or charitable efforts can help to boost morale and create a feeling of family amongst coworkers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking a half day each year to go volunteer at a soup kitchen is a great way for employers to improve their community and their company,\u201d says Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employment expert explains how your company can shine as an outstanding employer The national unemployment rate is just 3.7%.
