Health insurance, flexible hours, remote work, vouchers to spend as they wish, and monetary rewards. There's much more to employee compensation than just salary.

“Regarding training, it is a right of every talent. However, Mind Source goes beyond its duty and promotes a training plan aligned with the individual career plan, providing the necessary tools for employees to acquire skills that enrich their knowledge and the development of their soft and hard skills. We invest in our talent and, for this reason, we draw up an individual career plan, taking into account the motivations and ambitions of each person,” explains Rui Reis, CEO of Mind Source, also distinguished as a Great Place to Work.


Odete Matos joined the company four years ago and, along the way, remembers the investment in training and the “support given to each consultant, which allows them to get to know other consultants and the company through the mentoring process.” Ana Pedro, who was invited to join the company, also recalls that it was the investment in talent that made her accept the job offer.


Both acknowledge the role of the health plan (extendable to spouse and children), and Odete speaks of the importance of "having access to a network of providers, thus not being dependent on the national plan when waiting times for care are very long."


Focusing on health, the consultant promotes "sports activity through co-participation in the gym and some sporting events," as well as "interest in adopting a healthy lifestyle" with "offering fruit at the workplace and promoting free workshops on workplace posture and nutrition," says Rui Reis.


"The balance between the personal and professional lives of our employees is a constant concern. Everyone on our team benefits from flexible hours whenever possible according to the project. They also benefit from a network of Mind Source Life partners that provides our talent and their families with a range of offerings related to travel, culture, experiences, sports, telecommunications, technology, training, health, and well-being."


“In addition to all these benefits, there are bonuses and cash prizes and distinctions for all those who excel during the year,” adds the head of Mind Source, highlighting the contribution of the “benefits package” which “can make a difference in choosing a company to work for, representing a competitive advantage for companies when other variables are comparable (salary, etc.).


Doing the math, it's possible to translate the value of the benefits package monetarily. However, it only effectively translates into monetary savings if the employee values ​​and uses these benefits; therefore, the perceived value can vary from employee to employee.”
