Question: What's one important perk -- it doesn't need to be fancy -- that your employees love?

Question: What's one important perk -- it doesn't need to be fancy -- that your employees love?

Birthday Cakes

"In addition to standard perks such as a foosball table, flex hours and weekly lunches, we get an ice cream cake for each team member's birthday. We want to show everyone that we care about them as people, and milestones in their lives are as important as milestones for the company. Although, having three birthdays in the second week of January leads to quite a bit of cake consumption!"


Coca-Cola

"We're all driven by caffeine, and so in addition to the Keurig coffee maker, there is a fridge stocked to the brim with assorted soft drinks (all zero calorie) in a dozen flavors for our staff to enjoy. It's not expensive, and it goes a long way toward showing them we want their time at work to be comfortable."


Spotify Premium

"We all love to work with music, and it's tiresome to listen to ads or too much of the same thing. Spotify Premium solves that problem and makes it easy to enjoy long musical sessions that help employees power positively through the day."


Rewards From Our Own Platform

"At Brandbuddee, we reward people to discover and share brands. Naturally, we get access to a lot of perks from the brands we work with, including free cruise trips, movie tickets and more. Our team members love being able to access this steady pool of rewards. "


Lunch and Happy Hour

"We have company lunches every two weeks at nice restaurant and a happy hour at a bar. It's simple, but people love free food and free drinks. "


Free Tutoring

"We offer 52 hours per year of free tutoring for our employees. Even our team members without children have enjoyed it and learned guitar or a foreign language. When your team uses your product or service, you’ll get incredible feedback and insight into what you can do better. Getting your product into the hands of your team is critical for any company focused on process improvement."
