With a goal of respecting life outside of work for its employees, SC Johnson offers on-site concierge services. This is a relatively low-cost employee perk that still goes a long way. This helps workers get their daily errands done while they are at work, including delivering groceries, getting oil changes for cars, mailing packages and other post, picking up prescriptions and even sending flowers.
In addition to the on-site concierge, SC Johnson helps its people juggle work and life in a number of other flexibility and support initiatives. At companies around the world, this could include benefits for domestic partners, childcare onsite and childcare vouchers, compressed work weeks, flexible work arrangements, health and fitness programs, paid sabbaticals, parenting leave, vacation programs and more. This is in addition to other pay and benefits.
