Companies are offering big bonuses to keep skills in South Africa – and to get workers back to the office

It has become apparent to employers, that to retain valuable employees, companies would need to incentivise the staff, to not only stay with the company but stay motivated to work, says Shargani Pillay, remuneration and benefits manager at tobacco company JTI.

Another attendee said that they were providing larger annual bonuses, to incentivise their staff not only to retain them but have them return to the office. Other executives said weekly telephonic check-ins were conducted to ensure that the employees’ personal interaction needs were accommodated for. Surprisingly, the staff engaged more and shared more about themselves in these sessions, compared to the “pre-Covid” stand ups and watercooler talk usually found around the office.
