Incentives go a long way to encouraging employees to perform at their best.
But does it shock you to hear that in a study of 750 UK workers, 61% felt that they don’t receive enough rewards at work?
The Institute of Leadership and Management surveyed 2000 people and found that 17% were planning to leave their current jobs because they felt under-appreciated.
So how far should we go to show our appreciation?
Google offers places for employees to catch a few zs during the day. Netflix offers unlimited holidays. These are all pretty extreme aren’t they? Not entirely plausible for all businesses and not all that necessary.
Ask yourself, would your employees even want these kinds of perks? Probably…
But seriously, everyone would love to use the giant Barclays waterslide to get to and from the office, but I am sure there are much easier, doable and practical employee incentives that could actually improve their work-life balance.
The truth is that you should just ask them what they want. They may decide they would prefer flexible working, which I talked about last week here. We often help clients organise childcare vouchers as another example. You can read more about pay and benefits here.
