I am looking to compile a list of next level benefits we could offer our employees that would set us apart. At this point in time, PTO, 401k matches, and paid insurance are base-level pay-to-play. What is a benefit that you have never heard of a company having that you would love!? Think outside the box! (Primary employee demographic 30 year old males with 1-2 kids).
Alternate weekends for coffee, pizza and donuts… It’s informal. No barriers or hierarchy, everyone meets everyone. There is banter and camadarie. Builds rapport.
Team Building exercises on weekdays. It’s a fun day, everyone out, participating in challenges, having a good time. Some pep talk and vision for company’s goals and growth.
Both these do not have to cost much and are doable.
We had both of these in our company and it was something all employees looked forward to.
This sounds like a “forced fun” nightmare from an introvert perspective (~40% of the population). I guess it depends on your employees. Have you done an anonymous survey to see what they really think?
I was not the owner. but understand your perspective. Honestly, everyone I knew of looked forward to weekend breakfast.
