Innovative perks for enticing employees back to the office

Many employers are coming up with creative perks to make their employees start working at their offices again as the world is gradually recovering from COVID-19. Below are seven unique perks that companies offer to bring employees back to the office:

  1. Car-charging stations: Some firms have started installing car-charging stations in their parking lots as more people switch to electric cars so that workers can charge their vehicles during the workday.

  2. On-site dog hotels: Some enterprises provide on-site dog hotels where employees can leave their pets when they go to work for those individuals who feel it difficult finding someone to look after them during business hours.

  3. Healthy food options: Several companies are now encouraging staff members to make proper eating choices by providing them with fresh and healthy meals through company cafeterias.

  4. Fitness classes:  There are organisations which have also come up with onsite yoga, Pilates or Zumba classes among other fitness classes, for purposes of promoting physical healthiness among its employees.

  5. Free massages: Certified masseurs are hired by some businesses to perform on-site massages meant to help staff overcome tension thereby relaxing them.

  6. Company-wide volunteer days: Community involvement and corporate social responsibility drive some firms into holding such company-level volunteering sessions which aids in giving back to society as well as improving employee relations.

  7. Flexible work arrangements: Flexible work arrangements are increasingly popular because they allow a better work-life balance; although not a physical perk. For instance, telecommuting options, flexible schedules, or unlimited vacations may be provided by some organizations so that they can attract and keep the best talents within them.

In conclusion, innovative perks and benefits can help companies differentiate themselves in a highly competitive job market while trying to retain and attract talents post-COVID. The available perks range from car-charging stations to pet-friendly workplaces which differ between various institutions. To increase productivity levels and employee participation in activities, firms must create workplace environments where they value and support all workers hence providing them with a variety of benefits and perks.
