The most expensive employee is the one you have to replace.
Recruiting time. Training the new hire. Lost productivity while they ramp up. Institutional knowledge that walks out the door. Studies put the true cost of losing a good employee at 50-200% of their annual salary.
Wages get most of the attention in the retention conversation. Benefits often do more of the heavy lifting.
Employees increasingly value coverage that shows their employer cares about their whole life β financial security, education about their options, planning for the future. Not just health insurance.

If your last benefits review was more than 2-3 years ago, it's worth another look.
