It’s one thing to offer standard perks and benefits; it’s another to design programs that make employees feel genuinely supported, both personally and professionally.
According to a study by SHRM, more than 60 percent of employees consider benefits a “make or break” factor when evaluating job offers, sometimes even more important than salary. For companies, thoughtful offerings do more than check a box; they help build workplaces where people feel valued — where they want to stay and grow.
While health insurance is expected, benefits like childcare reimbursement or mental health resources can set a company apart, signaling a deeper investment in employees’ lives. Some companies go even further, offering transgender-specific, LGBTQ+ inclusive and reproductive healthcare benefits to meet needs that are often overlooked.
Named one of our “Best Places to Work 2025,” these 10 companies highlight how investing in meaningful benefits and a strong culture keeps teams loyal and motivated.
