Employee motivation and productivity are two important topics for the business world.
In its simplest form, personnel rights can be defined as an employee's personal rights as set out in writing by the employer.
Managing Personnel Rights
One of the things employers need to get right for their company to run its operations on time, in full and in line with its goals is the management of personnel rights.
The positive effects of competition between employees go hand in hand with how well personnel rights are managed. Employers and management teams play a very important role in keeping this competition grounded in performance and mutual respect.
Being seen as a fair company is one of the key factors that allows employees to focus on their work.
Managing Personnel Rights with Technology
Salaries and the tools provided to employees to do their jobs, such as computers, mobile phones and cars, tend to become routine over time and lose their power to motivate.
In-kind benefit solutions, which have become increasingly common and offer an exemption from social security (SGK) premiums under Turkish legislation, now play an important role both in rewards for special occasions and in performance-based rewards.
With advances in technology and payment systems, in-kind benefits have moved on from a single product or brand to a sector whose variety appeals to every consumer and employee. Thanks to these non-cash benefits, employees can easily access essential goods in a way that is the closest thing to cash, while employers save on a significant cost item by benefiting from SGK premium exemptions.
Today, non-cash in-kind benefits are used when shopping at many clothing brands and for technology and food products.
