This is an area that I think every employer can always do better … and i mean that respectively, because if you’re always looking for better ways that means you are doing more and more for staff. Sometimes it’s the small things that really mean more than big things … more than just money etc
We do things like: free soda beverages free fruit and snacks lunch areas that have big screen TV, game consoles, lounge area etc discounted Internet and other services at home (some staff are free depending on their role) lots of different theme days .. pizza days, hot dog days, etc where food is brought in for everyone senior management taking various folks out for lunch or dinner … different groups, not even people who work in their teams some teams have fun days a couple of times a year - taking the afternoon off and going to archery range, or going bowling ..that kind of stuff Everyone has health insurance package (benefits package including dental, vision, prescription etc) No retirement option is one area lacking Life insurance - standard as part of benefits Paul > On May 11, 2017, at 9:19 AM, Paul McCall <[email protected]> wrote: > > OK, > > Our WISP, Florida Broadband, has reached the point where we need to start > addressing employee needs for the long term.
