provision of human resources and increase in non-compulsory (work) benefits
Comment:
“Human resources” is synonymous with “labor” in such contexts, and “endowment” is awkward and redundant.
My understanding of “prestaciones extralegales” here is that it refers to work benefits over and above those required by law.
Finally “work” or “employment” can be omitted, given that the context makes clear the kind of “benefits” being referenced.

Supply/provision of labor endowment and increased additional (employment) benefits .....
.... (over and above those specifically contemplated by law) [lack of space]
There are two separate terms / concepts, so bear in the mind one-term policy in this platform. Usually its okay to inquire on two very similar terms for differentiation or distinguishing purposes, which I'm not is the case there.
The former is pretty straight forward.
"The increase of labor endowment means the increase of labor supply (...)"

In the latter, the Spanish "extralegales" should not be confused the English use of "extralegal." My interpretation of it meaning "beyond what's required by law" is confirmed by this WR forum discussing "Prima extralegal" (which is very similar to "prestaciones extralegales" in your text). I think "additional benefits" would be fine, provided that the audience would understand under to be "over and above those specifically contemplated by law" (if not, added in parenthesis or noted in a side comment or food note).
