For 69% of Italians, corporate welfare supports purchasing power

The survey describes a picture in which welfare directly affects the perception of daily economic security. 59% of those interviewed declared that the services made available by the company represent a concrete contribution to meeting family expenses, while 53% use them to finance recreational activities or extra purchases without affecting their main salary. For half of the workers (50%), the presence of a structured welfare plan helps to increase the sense of financial stability for the future, mitigating the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations on fixed expenses.

The repercussions of these support policies also have a significant impact on the organizational climate and staff stability. Among the employees who benefit from these measures, the satisfaction rate for one’s job position reaches 71%, recording a clear difference compared to the 60% found among those who do not have similar benefits.

From a business management point of view, 81% of companies declare that the introduction of a benefit plan provides a quantifiable contribution to employee loyalty, and 59% observe a direct increase in motivation in work teams. As a result, 82% of managers believe that these solutions will become a fixed and relevant component of future compensation packages.

Regarding the organizational changes highlighted by the study, Anna Maria Mazzini, Marketing & Product Director of Pluxee Italia, commented: “One of the most interesting aspects that emerges from the research is the growing maturity with which companies look at corporate welfare today. It is no longer just a matter of providing benefits or services, but of building a work experience capable of responding to the concrete needs of employees. For companies, this means rethinking welfare as an increasingly central component of their value proposition, building plans that are truly consistent with workers’ needs and communicating their potential in a clear, accessible and continuous way. Let’s not forget, in fact, that one of the keys to success is trust: thanks to welfare, the evaluation of company commitment by employees grows by +23 points (60% vs 37%)”.
