Keeping your staff motivated and satisfied can no doubt be a challenging task. This doesn’t however, mean that it’s an impossible one. All an employer actually needs to do is switch on their imagination and be as creative and innovative as they can with their employee benefits.
Below are some unique in-house employee work perks you can introduce to your business if you haven’t done so already.
1. On-site employee health and well-being perks
From an office worker’s point of view, what could be more motivating than an on-site health and fitness centre? This would involve having a number of wellness programs such as chiropractic and massage sessions available at your workplace. Similarly, an on-site gym and swimming pool area would also be perceived extremely well by your staff members. In particular, this is an extremely convenient option for parents who haven’t got much time to exercise after work but still really want to keep fit. Don’t worry mums and dads, there’s a solution for everything!
2. Holiday perks
Getting additional holiday perks on top of your standard holiday entitlement would surely win over the hearts of many staff members. For example, several well-established organisations like KPMG and GoCompare allow their staff days off for their birthdays! How awesome is that?!
Some other popular companies also give you an extra week off around the Christmas period, which means workers get ample time to spend with their families around the festive season. These are just a couple of cool examples of how employers can provide you with some extra holiday privileges.
At the same time, employees should also keep in mind that they also have a duty to work hard and show their company loyalty and commitment at all times. For example, good time keeping and attendance is something which all employers expect their staff to get right without question.
3. Gaming and staff bonding perks
In the modern working era, many may now be familiar of gamification in the workplace. This is an exciting and fun way for your employees to interact with each other through the means of entertaining gaming systems like the PlayStation, Xbox 360 and even a foosball table. Let’s face it, no-one wants to remain glued to their desks and office chairs all day like a robot. Having an office space exclusively dedicated to staff members playing games or simply lounging on some bright and colourful modern office furniture is just what a person needs from time to time.
Recap:
We have now reached the end of our in-house unique work perks journey. The key takeaway here is that there should always be a ‘give and take’ work relationship with employer and employee for the benefit of the company. A mutual understanding and exceeding each other’s expectations is what will help a business become greatly successful.
On a separate note, if you’re a business owner looking to enhance your workforce management processes, a HR management software system, which practically does everything for you, might be a superb idea!
