Strengthening welfare to secure talent
[아시아경제 김철현 기자] There are an increasing number of startups that offer employee welfare benefits comparable to large companies. There are also various methods such as support for purchasing electronic products, support for interest on loans for housing stability, and stock option payments. This is to boost the morale of employees who have contributed to sustaining growth amid the Corona 19 situation, while securing excellent human resources.
According to related industries on the 15th, backpackers who operate the online handmade market’Ideas’ recently decided to reward 2 million won for electronic products per employee and are currently receiving applications. This is due to the achievement of the target of 20 billion won in monthly transaction value in December of last year, and this applies to all employees who are incumbent as of December 31st. The electronic products that can be selected are composed of those with a high preference for Corona 19, such as massage chairs, home cinema equipment, dryers, dishwashers, and high-end PCs. Of these, you can choose up to 3 products from the limit of 2 million won, and the remaining amount is paid as Ideas points. In addition, the backpacker decided to pay 5 days of reward vacation to all employees, including those who joined this year. An official from the backpacker said, “We decided to give rewards to share our gratitude with colleagues and family who became the original team toward one goal.”
There are also startups that have relieved employees of’home worries’. Croki.com, which runs the women’s shopping app’ZigZag’, is implementing a housing security support system to help employees reduce the burden on housing and focus on work in a better environment. It is to pay interest on loans for jeon and monthly rent or interest on mortgage loans within the limit of 100 million won in loans. In the case of monthly rent, the application is provided within 200,000 won per month.
Wadiz, which operates a crowdfunding platform, promoted listing on the KOSDAQ with the goal of 2022, and gave all employees a stock option (stock option) worth at least 10 million won last year. It is to share the company’s growth and rewards with its employees. In particular, Wadiz is planning to give stock options equally to employees in the first half of this year.
Jarvis & Villas, which operates an artificial intelligence (AI) tax accounting platform, also paid special incentives this year. This is due to the success of the AI comprehensive income tax reporting service. Incentive pay was set according to the achievement of each team and individual goals, and payments were completed from 100% to 200% of the basic pay. In addition to incentives, Jarvis & Villas also supports purchasing products tailored to individual tastes within a limit of 500,000 won per person.
There are also many startups that support employees to use their own services that are directly connected to the convenience of their lives. The food, clothing and shelter Company is making dry cleaning of the non-face-to-face mobile laundry service’Lundrigo’ available to all employees for free. The Life Research Institute also supports the cleaning service of the’Cleaning Research Center’ once a week. My Real Trip provided 1 million points per year to use travel products. Online lecture platform Class 101 supports free lectures.
An industry insider said, “Several start-ups on the growth trajectory are working hard to increase employee satisfaction with various welfare services. The remarkable welfare benefits also have the effect of securing the most important talents in a growing startup. This flow will continue.”
