SOUTH CAROLINA EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PROGRAM

South Carolina Employee Benefits Program Information

With the highly competitive market that we have in South Carolina we know how hard it can be at times to find and keep quality employees.  When we ask business owners and Human Resource managers- What are your largest challenges?  Employee acquisition and retention are always at the top of the list.  Our program is a one call system that places your staff with a highly trained and local real estate professional that will walk them through the entire home buying or selling process.  Real estate transactions can be stressful for anyone and can contribute to decreased work productivity and increased stress on your employees.  This program will make the process much easier and smoother while also saving your staff thousands of dollars compared to doing it on their own.  There is plenty of research that tells us that assistance with buying a home is a fantastic employee benefit.  Human Resource managers have told us that they are looking for opportunities to offer their employees additional benefits that do not cost the company any additional money or time.

A recent article in Forbes Magazine from 2018 titled- The Ultimate Employee Perk: Home Ownership gave reasons why affordable home ownership should be an employee benefit-

  1. Retention- Multiple studies show home ownership has a positive psychological impact in the individual, including an increased sense of investment in the community.
  2. Satisfaction- By making ownership more affordable, employees may have a greater chance to live near work and reduce commute times, therefore increasing satisfaction along with retention.
  3. Loyalty- Buying a home is an emotional process and being an active participant in making that milestone occur for your employees and their families can naturally increase their loyalty to their employer.
  4. Attracting Talent- A significant number of millennials report being willing to make a small salary sacrifice if the employer provides them with certain benefits that improve their quality of life and enhance their careers.
