An important component of corporate culture is the type of benefits
you offer your employees.
Perks, which is short for perquisites, are privileges
granted to your employees in addition to their salaries and benefits. Traditionally,
some perks have included healthcare plans and vacation time, but now companies
are creating new perks to offer their employees.
Today, perks have evolved and diversified to include such
benefits as complementary lunches, personal trainers and business “free time,” during
which employees are allowed to do personalized research and in-house education
programs. These incentives may seem outlandish, but they are proven to increase
productivity, raise employee happiness, entice attractive new hires, and
increase retention.
Perks don’t have to be large and costly to the organization;
they can be simple things, such as a coffee maker in the employee lounge, a
stocked refrigerator, or reserved parking. These little things can add up to
making a big difference in your recruiting process. In other words, having
desirable perks may be the ticket to attracting desirable employees.
