Perfect Perks
Last week, The Modern Concierge exhibited at a tradeshow for Human Resources professionals in Los Angeles and Orange County– the HR Star Conference at the LA Convention Center.
In attendance were 750 HR executives, and one of the hot topics of the day was employee benefits: How can companies best recruit and retain employees? The more than 30 vendors onsite were more than happy to tell these executives what they needed – pre-paid legal services, pet insurance, fancy coffee machines, chocolate, and of course our suggestion – concierge services!
But what we learned while talking to the hundreds of people who came by our booth is that employee benefits are most beneficial only when they are tailored to a company’s culture. Employees at a manufacturing firm near LAX may want different perks than corporate lawyers downtown – and the goal of a good HR manager is to match its company’s benefits to its employees needs. Out of all the workplace perks available today, what could your company offer that would make a difference to you?
