Five Reasons Why Attorney-On-Demand is a Perfect Employee Benefit

For leaders of growing businesses throughout the United States, building an equitable company culture is not only cost-efficient but necessary. The Center for American Progress recently reported that a lack of DE&I initiatives costs $64 billion annually for companies dealing with the consequences of inaction: employee turnover, hiring new staff, and lack of “belonging” in the workplace, among other things.

So let’s talk about ways that “peace of mind” can be utilized as an employee benefit.

Peace Of Mind During The Commute

The average US driver spends nearly four hours per week commuting to and from work. Depending on the area, navigating traffic can add to this number, with drivers anxious and rushing to get to their destinations. Accidents are most common in the Winter and Spring during the evening commute. 

While it’s clear that employees choose how far they’re willing to commute and how, why not provide support to give them added peace of mind with whatever choice they make? When a lawyer is one click away, an employee knows that any accident or traffic encounter doesn’t have to be a fearful experience. Their employer has their back — every time.

Invest In The Whole Person

Employees can see when their concerns outside of the day-to-day work grind are noticed. When resources are made available off the clock, it demonstrates a commitment to them as a whole person, with unique life and experiences. Employees are parents, partners, caregivers, friends, and more. Benefits that support them as people outside of their job description can increase retention, which in turn has a tangible impact on the company’s bottom line.

Lead the Industry

Recent years have shown that customer behavior impacts companies just as much as internal efficiencies. More and more buyers are choosing brands based on their public values as well as their product quality. The country’s leading companies are beginning to take control of their public image through specific actions that show their commitment to their workforce and community impact.

Creating a safer environment for employees has a ripple effect, and these initiatives combined with Corporate Social Responsibility efforts continue to drive brand impressions, engagement, and brand loyalty for companies of all sizes.

Attract Diverse Talent

In the wake of recent high-profile movements around racial justice and social empowerment, companies large and small have been pulled into the spotlight for their attempts — and failures — to nurture truly diverse organizations. This year, Gallup asked over 13,000 people what was most important to them in a job, and a diverse, inclusive organization ranked sixth. 

What this shows is that the desire to see new seats at the table has not stagnated since the international Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. In fact, it has continued to grow. Employers have found their workers more demanding of tangible, substantial efforts on these issues.

The Bottom Line

Finding creative ways to bring new employees into the workplace will always be a challenge. Demand will also increase for benefits that incentives those employees to stay. For a small financial investment that can pave the way for an outsize reward, starting with a legal on-demand benefit has never been easier.
