In an endeavor to not only retain, but also attract the best talent, companies are offering job perks that go above and beyond what some might expect as a standard benefits package. Whether this means extending services to part-time associates or making life easier for hedge fund professionals, these perks can occur in and outside of the office.
For many working people, striking a balance between work and your everyday life can be challenging. This is why some organizations have instituted job perks like housecleaning and on-site concierge services to help staff members. This can also be seen in an emphasis on health and wellness, from Apple's wellness center to motivational fitness platforms.
More lavish incentives offered by employers might include private jet use or a new smartwatch if goals are met.
