How is it possible for a company not to focus on the bottom line. You can’t pay employees if money isn’t coming in the door….love the grandiose idea though…

I work in HR and love the ideas other companys seem to offer…yet most companys struggle to see the benefits in offering great benefits and perks.

I must know, who do you work for?

The thing these perks have in common is not just cost, but creativity. Think about what would make your employees feel appreciated – freshly painted locker/coatrack area? A monthly birthday celebration for whomever has a birthday that month, including cupcakes for all? What businesses are next to you, that you might pair with – for example, if a florist is next to you, maybe you could trade flowers for the employee of the month at your diner for dinner coupons at your diner for the florists’ employees. Are you in the middle of a town, a downtown area? Then what about putting up a bike rack painted in the colors of your business to encourage people to exercise more? What about putting a sign in the window one week of the month celebrating a new accomplishment of either your employees or someone in the community? Get a group of people together, including your employees, and brainstorm a bit. For a small family diner in a well-established community, there’s a lot of overlap of the employees with the customers – find ways to celebrate them all.

Perks I want: a company that is truly doing good in the world and not just focused on the bottom line, a boss who actually knows what he/she is doing, and being able to complete my work in 40 hours per week. My industry (engineering consulting) can’t seem to offer any of these things.

I would take none of the above. My employer offers the best perk: Fully paid healthcare. No premiums, no deductable, no co-pays, nothing at all out of my pocket or paycheck. Everything is picked up by the employer’s plan. None of the listed perks even come close to this.

Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Snacks? Doesn’t even come close to this, and nearly all the best doctors and hospitals on the West Coast are included in this plan.

I’d like to see any company top that as a perk!

You should include Evernote here – $1000 spending money as an incentive to take vacation, AND twice-monthly housekeeping for all employees. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/08/business/phil-libin-of-evernote-on-its-unusual-corporate-culture.html?pagewanted=all

Epic Systems, here in town, offers a free one month paid vacation to anywhere in the world for you and a companion after five years. The only caveat is that you have to go somewhere you have never been before. After ten years? You can take FOUR people. Absolutely amazing.
