Employers are increasingly seeking creative ways to retain employees through various forms of company perks and benefits such as free shuttle service to on-site child care. It’s no secret that there are more jobs available than there are workers today pushing companies to out-perk one another in order to attract talent.
Although perks and benefits are strongly weighed when considering job offers, a study conducted by Harvard Business Review revealed these company perks are the least considered when offered lower pay for more benefits:
Team Bonding Events – 80% of respondents could care less about having deeper connections with colleagues.
On-Site Gym – 78% of respondents are not interested in having a gym available on company premises.
Weekly Free Employee Outings – 76% of respondents would not take lower pay to spend more time with their co-workers.
Company-wide Retreats – there is definitely a pattern, 74% of respondents want money rather than company sleep-overs.
