Remember those ping-pong tables and free beer? Those office perks now feel like ancient history.
Companies used to compete for talent with fancy office toys.
Startups would brag about arcade machines and cereal bars.
Then 2020 happened.
Workers started wanting different things.
The fancy office perks lost their luster when everyone went remote.
Today, the best perks look very different.
Mental health support is top of many workers' wish lists.
Companies pay for therapy sessions and meditation apps.
Remote work stipends are the new normal.
Employees receive funds to set up appropriate home offices.
Learning budgets have replaced free lunches.
Companies pay for online courses and skill training.
Flexible hours trump fancy office spaces.
Health insurance now covers digital healthcare options.
Childcare support is an in-demand perk.
Wellness apps are more appreciated than office gyms.
Some companies offer housekeeping services instead of office snacks.
Financial advice services are replacing company cars.
Even vacation policies have changed.
Unlimited time off is becoming more common.
But the biggest change? Workers can actually use these perks.
They're not just for show anymore.
The best perks today make life better, not just work more fun.
And that's what really matters to people now.
The ping pong tables might be gathering dust.
But workers are getting what they actually need.
Sometimes the best perks are the ones that let you skip the office.
