A strong job market is giving employees and job seekers an edge while putting pressure on employers and their benefits managers to draw top-notch talent. And employees are ready and willing to jump ship — if the benefits are right, according to new research from Gallup.

While there has been a shift in the “cool” and extensive amenities coming from the tech titans in Silicon Valley, employers need to know exactly what matters to workers when making their employment decisions so they can make informed decisions about how to best compete for top talent. According to Gallup’s research, at least one-third of workers say they would leave their job for specific benefits and perks.
