The most surprising office benefits or, as they say startup office perks, I’ve heard of …
And no, this is not your typical fresh fruits, free lunches, dog friendly or gym which are kinda boring and omni-present. These are way better and more surprising 👇
1/ SAUNA in the office
Seems like a good idea to sweat out the work pressure in the office with colleagues. At least for anyone who’s from Finland 🙂
I’d certainly need some time to get used to it!
2/ SAIL BOATs
Use company sailboat during lunch-break or for afternoon team meeting? Why not if you’re based in Zurich.
I’d love that 😊
3/ BAR in the office
Seems like a nobrainer adopted by many startups but if you’re a company producing spirits - like Campari, it really is a necessity.
I was never sure about bars in the office, I kinda like the real bars feel and it’s hard to get that in the office.
4/ JOB FOR LIFE
Maybe does not seem possible or relevant but there’s at least one company in Europe offering job for life and even guaranteeing a job for your kids (should they want to join)
How about that capitalism 😄
5/ PAIR OF TRAINERS
Choose your shoes for any occasion or sport when joining a company…
hmm, why not? 😏
6/ ASTROLOGY CONSULTING
Free for you to use any time you feel the universe is trying to tell you something but you can’t decode what it is.
I definitely know people who’d love it 😉
7/ GARDEN TO GROW YOUR GREENS
May sound like “work” for some and especially when you’re a garden architect, but what a hack…you can’t grow your greens on your clients’ gardens so I guess it makes sense 🥂
8/ MASSEUSE
Free back rubs and foot massages are here since internet bubble but I’m yet to join a company where it actually exists.
I love it. Would be in the office everyday 🤟
Most of these I know thanks to my US friends and @MonocleMag 🙏
