Benchmarking for benefits in Germany
International companies in Germany face the challenge of offering attractive benefits. Benefits that are popular in other countries are often irrelevant in Germany, as they are already covered by social security or even prohibited by law.
Profion’s benchmarking analyses provide reliable data and show which benefits really count – so you can meet your employees’ expectations and be competitive.
Why benchmarking is important
A well thought out benefits strategy is crucial for attracting and retaining talent. Our reports offer you in-depth insights into industry-standard offerings and trends so that you can optimally align your portfolio.
Typical challenges for international companies in Germany
Many international employers misjudge the attractiveness of individual benefits. Different legal frameworks, the highly regulated tax treatment of benefits in Germany, and cultural expectations also increase the risk of costly misjudgments.
Our solution for your strategy
The Profion benchmarking analyses provide data and survey results from numerous companies in Germany. They contain information on insured and non-insured benefits, as well as salaries. This reveals which benefits are common in the market and which offers are actually relevant to employees. This allows you to develop a benefits strategy that meets the needs of your workforce and remain a competitive employer.
