Big Business Insights: How to structure remuneration and benefits to appeal to top talent

Fierce competition for critical skills has become the new hallmark of our employment landscape. Instead of staying in jobs for the big bonus or paycheque, those lucky enough to be in demand are increasingly prioritising workplace culture and their wellbeing.   Studies show that even in a tough economy, many skilled employees are still choosing to resign from their jobs in search of greener pastures. So how can employers attract – and keep – the best people to help meet their organisational goals? To hear more research-based insights, our host Blessing Utete, the Commercial Executive Head at Old Mutual Corporate, is joined by guests Dalene Sechele, Engagement Executive for Life and Savings at Old Mutual, and Lindiwe Sebesho, Managing Director of Remchannel. Together they discuss how one-size-fits-all solutions are a thing of the past when it comes to building an engaged and resilient workforce.   To stay in the game, employers need to understand that people define value differently. Salary, flexibility, retirement security, skills development, career growth, and wellbeing are all in the mix. Tune in to hear why these benefits are no longer optional extras but rather vital investments for sustainable business success.      Resources used in this episode: Dalene Sechele on LinkedInLindiwe Sebesho on LinkedIn  Remchannel Salary & Wage Movement SurveyNew Remchannel survey warns of unseen negative consequences of salary flexibility on pension savings – FANewsRemchannel Quarterly Report August 2025 Remchannel Salary and Benefit Trends 2024 Human Resources Quarterly – Remchannel  Old Mutual Thought Leadership Forum 2025 – Mindspace Special EditionResignation risk persists despite turnover dip – Remchannel  Three minutes on the role of human capital leaders in today’s workplace – video Dalene Sechele on LinkedIn · Lindiwe Sebesho on LinkedIn · Remchannel Salary & Wage Movement Survey · New Remchannel survey warns of unseen negative consequences of salary flexibility on pension savings – FANews · Remchannel Quarterly Report August 2025 · Remchannel Salary and Benefit Trends 2024 · Human Resources Quarterly – Remchannel · Old Mutual Thought Leadership Forum 2025 – Mindspace Special Edition · Resignation risk persists despite turnover dip – Remchannel · Three minutes on the role of human capital leaders in today’s workplace – video
