What Gen Zers Really Want in Workplace Benefits

 A Farmington, New Mexico resident, Drita Bronkey works as a real estate management consultant with Zemer Property Management Consultants. At the real estate firm specializing in mobile home park communities, Drita's responsibilities include recruiting and managing on-site staff across several home park communities in New Mexico.

A few years ago, if you provided prospective employees with medical, life, and retirement benefits, they would gladly accept the offer to work for you. However, the workplace is evolving, and employees, particularly Gen Zers (people born from 1996 to the early 2000s), who are currently joining the workforce, are demanding greater employee perks from their employers.

One of the leading employee benefits that Gen Zers want is flexible working hours. Instead of being required to work 9 to 5, this generation of workers prefers to have the freedom to decide their working hours and where to perform their duties. Flexibility is so appealing to Gen Zers that they prioritize it over healthcare.

Additionally, Gen Zers are looking for employers who support their health and well-being. Therefore, a business looking to hire Gen Zers may provide them with perks like limitless sick days, memberships to health clubs, counseling services, in-house massage therapists, and mental health days.

Developing their skills and mentorship is another benefit that Gen Zers expect from employers to help them stay current with the fast technological advancements and grow in their field. A corporation may gain from providing skill training since the abilities learned can support their growth. A 401(k) and student loan repayment, which less than 5 percent of US firms now provide, are other financial wellness benefits that Gen Zers desire.

Why Should You Buy a Manufactured Home?

 A California State Long Beach graduate, Drita Bronkey is a consultant at Zemer Property Management Consultants (ZPMC). Drita is also a member of the New Mexico Manufactured Housing Association, a trade organization that promotes the interests of professionals and stakeholders in the manufactured housing industry in New Mexico.

A manufactured home, also known as a mobile home, refers to a prefabricated house built at a factory before getting transported to where it will be situated. This type of housing is usually cheaper than traditional homes constructed on-site. Below are some of the reasons you should consider buying a manufactured home.

Firstly, manufactured homes are cheaper than traditional ones. Since they are mass-produced, they cost less to produce; hence, they go for lower prices. While the average cost of a traditional home is $500,000, the average cost of a manufactured home is $87,000.

Another reason to consider manufactured homes is mobility. Unlike traditional homes, you can move a mobile home with you if you want to move. Since they are factory-built, construction of manufactured homes is typically faster than traditionally built homes. You don’t have to worry about being delayed by bad weather or zoning and permit problems with manufactured homes.
