The "Odd" Welfare Of Big Companies

Outdoor products retailer Recreational Equipment (REI) employees can get 50% to 75% of the company's product discount opportunities and receive a gift every year. If you sign up for the "challenge grants" program, you can get 300 dollars worth of outdoor products after the success.

As long as Google is close to innovation, it is always tirelessly mentioned by people. Apart from having five star hotels chef as executive chef, there are 80-20 principles for every day to let employees eat delicious food everywhere in restaurants, that is, 20% of working hours can be used to do what they like.

More companies began to adopt long working hours and flexible working days combined mechanism, and then try to meet some of the needs of employees to make work and life more comfortable.

Such benefits can hardly be used to measure the scope of its effectiveness and the extent of its effectiveness. Besides, such as free breakfast, lunch, free fruits and yogurt, especially food related consumer goods, it is hard to feel special about their company if it is not compared with other companies.

Apart from traditional welfare, some innovative benefits are always icing on the cake. Work can also delight the mind and body, though it is not always easy to achieve it - always the highest goal we pursue.

Ma Yun sent shares to his employees, and Ma Huateng provided 1 billion yuan of interest free loans to his employees to buy a house. Recently, Shi Yuzhu did not plan to be idle. He wanted to build a house for his employees in Songjiang, Shanghai. Is it very jealous to see such benefits? But it's not that serious either. Let's take a look away from the floating clouds of housing insurance and see how these companies can create welfare.

Large companies "Weird" welfare

Pressure reduction: unlimited supply of beer

Can you drink during office hours? Yes, for example, network companies such as Yelp and Twitter.

Bloomberg BusinessWeek reported that Yelp was equipped with an iced beer barrel for its employees' unlimited supply of beer at its headquarters in San Francisco. To ensure that people drink responsibly, employees who drink alcohol must be registered in an application on iPad. This application records every ounce of them. The logic is that no one would want to be on the top of the list of alcoholics, so the privilege of drinking at the workplace would not be abused.

A Japanese real estate company also hopes to increase the feelings among employees through drinking, and to provide employees with thousands of dollars in "promotion exchange" activities. The company plans to provide 300 thousand yen ($24 thousand and 700) per month for managers who manage more than 20 people. Dining expenses Managers with less than 20 employees can receive 200 thousand yen ($16 thousand and 500). Japanese corporate culture encourages employees to drink parties after work, which helps employees to relax in a serious and tense working environment. In addition, non smoking employees receive a monthly bonus of 100 thousand yen (about 8244 yuan).

Decompression is usually a matter of "finding a way out" for company people. If the company considers this problem, it can solve it, and it may be more scientific and guiding.

P & G has a holiday called "personal leave": employees who work for more than 1 years in the company can apply for any personal reasons. They can be hobbies, or relax for their body and mind, or be able to accompany their parents. The applicant may make a request for 1 months' leave every 3 years or a 3 month holiday every 7 years.

Improving quality: regular and regular communication between teams

In fact, for these fun benefits, most companies will prefer to separate them from their work as far as possible. Work has occupied most of the capacity of the brain. Is it necessary to see the shadow of work when it is hard to enjoy "happiness"?

But from the two aspects of curiosity and sense of achievement, people are always curious about novelty or things that they do not understand. In the present careless boring life, occupation may be the most likely way to get a sense of achievement.

Google's TGIF Party (Thank God It) s Friday, that is, every Friday afternoon, employees can find one in the company. Place of activity Talk to everyone about the mood of a week's work. In fun, embarrassment and gossip, new employees introduce themselves, and project teams communicate with each other. This may be considered as an ingenious training and almost cost less.

Innovative works draw on this TGIF Party. At 1 o'clock p.m. on Friday, employees will assemble in relatively fixed places, such as the larger space at the front desk. Employees from different backgrounds introduce their own experiences, and then the team that has a large number of users will talk about their experiences. In short, "what do you want to say, speak up"?

Listening to other people's stories can satisfy their curiosity, and telling their stories can achieve a sense of achievement. This process finally unconsciously improves the professional quality of the individual.

Satisfying hobbies: yoga, hip-hop, learning at any time.

Most companies do not show interest in their employees' interests and love as part of their private lives. But some companies believe that encouraging and satisfying employees' personal hobbies is not a bad thing.

He Zhiyi, who works in Procter & Gamble, participated in the New Jazz group of the company interest group. Every Tuesday and Thursday, she will go to Fit Center, the 13 floor of P & G, to attend the course. This course has two choices, one is 12:30 noon, the other is the evening time, about 20 people each time. They invited the leader of the Guangzhou Speed street dance team to be a teacher. She feels that after starting New Jazz, the whole person will have a lot of confidence.

After studying for 2 to 3 months, He Zhiyi performed a New Jazz in the Procter & Gamble ER talent show in July 12th.

Procter & Gamble is located in the 30 storey office of Tianhe, Guangzhou, where all the non working facilities are available. Sports, massage, eating fresh fruit meals and lying in bed for a short nap are encouraged. In the Fit Center on the 13 floor, there are five or six courses besides New Jazz, Fit Body, Zumba, Sport Yoga, etc. Not only that, the company also gives employees a relatively flexible working system so that they can have more time to meet their interests. The employees who arrive at 10 a.m. are not late for work, and they will not be accused by the boss when they work for half an hour.

This way of giving employees more free space, on the one hand, may make employees form a free and loose working attitude. But on the other hand, it is more likely that employees can form a balance of their work and entertainment self-discipline. After all, everyone has their own interests and love. If you are in a state of intense work for a long time, you will not be able to satisfy your interests and interests. Instead, you will have a negative impact on your work efficiency and may cause employees to feel disgust.
