Cool Little Perks

Cool little perks can go a long way with your employees. There’s dog walking. Dry cleaning. Massage therapy. When you read summaries of The Best Places to Work, it’s often the little and quirky things that are cited. Valleywag says this is one way Google keeps its employees jazzed in New York City:
Now here’s a perk: We hear that Google’s New York office gets local employees on the list of three clubs every weekend, so they don’t have to wait in line with the bridge-and-tunnel crowd.
What do you do to make your employees feel special? Being part of the club is fun; getting into a club is even more fun.

Unfortunately I know too many places that need cool big overhauls!

I think it is the simple things that can make employees feel like family and that they are appreciated.
We take our all of our employees out to a Chamber golf outing and dinner. For children and families there is miniature golf and swimming at the club.
After a long week or project we will take employees out to the ballpark for an afternoon for lunch and entertainment.
What has been your experience?

Rick, ain't that the truth? No amount of fun things will overcome a crappy environment. It's lipstick on a pig.

Let's be careful to not worship companies that offer great perks. Instead - we should be looking at companies that have a powerfully comprehensive talent management strategy that begins with hiring the right people and keeping them inspired.
Good stuff!

NYC attitude, now that's a whole different matter and no algorithm, google-backed or not, is gonna compute that.
