Main Article Content
Abstract
Employee benefits play a vital role in attracting and retaining talent, but startups often struggle to offer competitive packages due to financial limitations and regulatory constraints. This study explores the difficulties startups face in creating cost-effective employee benefits solutions during times of financial instability. By employing a combination of Fuzzy ANP (Analytic Network Process) and DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) methods, the research identifies and prioritizes key factors impacting employee benefits management. The study highlights that financial limitations, benefits design, and the scalability of implementation are the main challenges. It provides a structured approach to understanding the interrelationships between these factors and suggests practical solutions for startups to develop flexible, scalable, and affordable benefits programs. The findings offer actionable insights to help startups improve their employee benefits strategies, contributing to both organizational growth and employee satisfaction.
