As Gen X workers near retirement, they are seeking benefits that cater to their stage of life, focusing on flexibility, financial security, and long-term care. Companies are responding with tailored benefits such as enhanced retirement savings plans, flexible working arrangements, and financial planning services. This shift recognizes that Gen X has unique needs compared to other generations and organizations that adapt to these preferences are better positioned to retain this experienced workforce.

This article emphasizes the importance of creating personalized well-being programs to support thriving employees. It suggests that one-size-fits-all benefits packages are no longer sufficient. Instead, companies should focus on tailoring wellness offerings to address individual needs, including mental, emotional, and physical health, as well as financial security. A culture that prioritizes holistic well-being fosters greater employee engagement and success.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

Reframing your “honest” interview answers.
|
|
|
A friend is currently interviewing for a role and mentioned to me that she fears she may have been too “honest” in some of her answers. So much about strong interviewing is about how you frame your answers. Here are some “honest” interview answers to the interview question “Why are you interested in this job?”, with potential reframes.
Why are you interested in this job?
- Your compensation and benefits are way better than in my current role/organization.
Your organization’s mission and the scope of the role align incredibly well with my professional and personal values and skillset. I’m seeking to do this work in an organization that places a strong emphasis on developing and retaining talent, which I believe to be true of [insert organization name]. If there’s time during this conversation, I’d love to learn more about [insert organization name]’s talent philosophy.
- I think the work/life balance is better here and I’m so burned out! I want a remote job!
I’m deeply committed to [insert industry goals, like achieving education equity], and believe that I can do my best work at an organization that has a strong and proven strategy when it comes to sustainable growth and human capital. From my conversations with peers in the industry and previous meetings with the hiring team, I’ve been so impressed with what has been shared about [insert organization name] in this regard! I also love the idea of working on a geographically dispersed team, getting a chance to work with incredible talent from across the country. Can you share more about how teams collaborate and create strong cultures in this remote-first workplace?
- This job looks way less demanding than my current position.
I’ve had a chance to wear many hats in my last few roles, and realized where I add considerable value and love to spend my time is [insert the job functions most aligned to this new role]. In learning more about this position with your organization, I love the focus on [insert the job functions] and would be so energized to spend the majority of my time solving these problems! Is that aligned to how you see the role of [insert job title]?
- I don’t get along with my boss/I work in a toxic environment.
Your organization’s mission and the scope of the role align incredibly well with my professional and personal values and skillset. I’m excited to join a team with a strong culture, and an organization committed to the development of its talent. In my conversations with other leaders at the organization, they all consistently share the many ways they’re supported and coached - this is exactly what I’m looking for in my next organization! If there’s time at the end of our interview, I’d love to hear more about formal and informal talent development opportunities and the culture of the team I’d potentially be joining.
