Technology companies usually focus
their employee benefits around making people stay
in the
office longer: ping-pong tables,
game rooms, on-site training rooms, some even
offer laundry services.
We, ABC
Company, don’t do any of these.
Instead, we focus on benefits that get
people out of the office as much as possible. We
designed
our benefits system to reflect
that. Here are some of the benefits we offer to
get people away from
the
computer.
Vacation:
For
the
last
three
years
in
a
row,
we’ve
worked
with
a
professional
travel
agent
to
prepare different travel packages that
employees could pick from as a holiday gift.
Everything is paid
for and included.
Specific, pre-arranged trips --- whether for a
family to go to Disneyland or a couple
to tour Spain --- have helped make sure
people actually take their vacations.
4-day Summer
Weeks:
From May through October,
ev
eryone who’s been with the company
for
more than a year gets to work just
four days in a week. Thi
s started out
as “Friday’s off”
, but
roles
like customer support and operations need to cover
all hours.
To come up with
the best ideas, you need a fresh mind. These
travel and me-off benefits help
everyone stay sharp.
36. The usual focus of
