No longer a static component of the workplace, benefits are being rewoven into a tapestry of personalized empowerment and strategic advantage. Leading this revolution is Amy Spurling, who joins host Karla Jo Helms on the Disruption Interruption podcast. Spurling shares her bold vision to dismantle the outdated "one-size-fits-all" approach to benefits, replacing it with a dynamic, personalized experience that truly meets the diverse needs of today's workforce.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With 79% of employees prioritizing flexible work options and benefits, it is essential for companies to understand and meet these diverse needs to maintain high job satisfaction. 1 In a changing labor market, a compelling benefits plan has become crucial for sustaining a healthy, satisfied, and productive workforce, directly impacting organizational productivity and revenue. Karla Jo Helms (KJ), host of the Disruption Interruption podcast, is joined by Amy Spurling, Founder and CEO of Compt, who emphasizes that Compt's approach is not just about benefits; it's about redefining how companies engage and support their teams. "Employee benefits have long been a secret pay gap that hits many," Spurling explains. "It's an opaque and inequitable issue, and it's something I am committed to changing."
Revolutionizing Employee Benefits with Data-Drive Equity and Inclusion
Compt, Spurling's revolutionary platform, leverages advanced data analytics to empower employers to anticipate and meet the needs of their workforce in a scalable and inclusive way.
Spurling founded Compt after identifying that existing employee benefits solutions were not effectively addressing the needs of all employees and often contributed to inequality. Throughout her career, she has consistently supported fair compensation, parental leave, and equitable resource distribution.
Transforming Employee Engagement While Supporting Local Economies
Spurling explains that disrupting equity in the workplace is not just about benefits; it's about redefining how companies engage and support their teams, creating an environment where every employee feels valued and supported.
With this approach, Compt has emerged as a leading employee benefits platform, supporting small businesses and local economies through its network of over 27,000 vendors, including many small, locally-owned businesses.
A Strategic Investment for Businesses and Communities
Spurling emphasizes the need to educate finance teams on the financial benefits of investing in wellness through Compt. "It's about showing that this isn't an extra expense but a smart, strategic investment that benefits everyone—from the employees to the local businesses and communities they live in," she concluded.
