Flexible benefits marketplace, WorkMart, in collaboration with OCBC Bank and WorkSmartly, hosted a seminar today titled “Personalising People Benefits Seminar” to help businesses gain a competitive edge in the talent market. Held at Sime Darby Convention Centre, the seminar featured a panelist line-up of industry experts and academic professionals from Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), STRAVIK, Sorga Innovations, and Roche.
With nearly 75% of Malaysian employees citing benefits as a deciding factor in their employment decisions, the seminar focused on strategies to create more intuitive employee benefits, as well as its contribution to greater workplace productivity and overall talent management. The session also covered how human resource (HR) professionals, C-level executives, and business owners can each implement different measures to foster work cultures centered around employee well-being.
Besides individual speaking segments, the event culminated in a panel discussion where the invited speakers shared their insights on designing a total rewards strategy to attract and retain top talent. Attendees also walked away with insights on how to align various forms of rewards to an organisation’s overall business strategy and values, including holistic performance management, non-monetary incentives, and long-term wellness programmes.
In addition to the keynote speaker presentations, the Personalising People Benefits seminar also included the first-ever live public demo of WorkMart’s platform and practical insights on how to leverage HR technology for workplace initiatives.
As a fast-growing digital HR solution provider, WorkSmartly introduced WorkMart to assist companies in offering personalised benefits to their employees. WorkMart provides a platform where organisations can offer a range of customisable benefit packages, including health insurance, training courses, and wellness programmes, all easily configured and redeemed on one platform. WorkMart’s catalogue is comprised of several global partner companies including Pensonic, Vivo, and Allianz.
Wrapping up the seminar with his thoughts on flexible benefits strategies, Victor Phang, Digital Business Director of WorkSmartly said: “The workplace today is more diverse than ever, with employees living rich individual lives that cover different interests and needs. By being able to cater to more of these lifestyles, employers can foster a culture of inclusivity and support — towards a broader positive shift in employee engagement and business outcomes. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.”
