Easy & Affordable Perks at Work
I just heard about an amazing corporate perk that I had to share (other than The Modern Concierge that is!). A friend of mine works for a company that wasn’t able to give her the raise she (and they) knew she deserved. So, along with a slight monetary increase, they offered her one morning off per month. A half day off each month doesn’t seem like much at first, but just think about it, all of a sudden a weekday is available to you to sleep in, to make those hard to schedule doctor appointments or even to have crowd-free shopping opportunities at Target and Costco.
I remember the first time that I went to Target on a weekday morning during my maternity leave. I was in a different world. Plenty of parking! Clean, organized shelves! No lines! Suddenly I had the opportunity for quiet meandering around the aisles- pure joy.
Office perks come in different shapes and sizes, and creativity in today’s workplace are key. There are lots of easy and affordable ways to show employees that you value their service to your organization. What’s your company doing to show they care?
