Recruiter Tetyana Stefanovska asked the LinkedIn community which corporate benefit really surprised the specialists.
«Health insurance, gym, tuition reimbursement — these are almost standard. But sometimes companies offer something that makes you say: „Wow, this is really cool!“ For example: Mental Health Days — extra weekends for rest, when you can take a day to reboot without explanation. Travel budget — the company gives money for a trip to any place once a year. Therapy at the expense of work,» she gave an example.
In the comments to the post, IT users shared their wow expectations regarding the content of social packages.
Expert Natalie Wah wrote: «Paid birthday day off. It may not be something big and global, but I really liked this benefit.
Richard Krzyzewski, Head of Sales in B2B (IT Services, Fintech, SaaS, Marketing), named the most desirable benefit of an adequate CEO. «An adequate CEO is a great rarity,» he noted.
Hiring specialist Christina Sabol cited a four-day workweek as an example of a super benefit. «And take away all the benefits, I’m ready for this sacrifice,» she wrote jokingly.
Senior Data Analyst Volodymyr Kondratyuk says that preserving the salaries of mobilized employees is a good option.
Lead Software Engineer Volodymyr L. called a top benefit a well-equipped corporate car, which you can use to go on vacation with friends or family at any time. «The rental is free. You only pay for fuel and car wash/cleaning,» he said. And he added a few conditions: there are no restrictions on how often you can rent a car. «In practice, you can find free days in a two-week period. If the days are popular, like the May holidays, you may need to make a reservation a month in advance. Restrictions on routes — no traveling abroad,» Volodymyr noted.
Content Writer Daria Korota said that she recently saw that in one Ukrainian company everyone simultaneously goes on paid «vacations» twice a year for a week in addition to the usual day-offs.
«Therapy at the employer’s expense is top notch, as is the option to take a day off when you simply don’t have the resources and need to rest,» said recruiter Kateryna Zaychenko .
«Yoga in the office. Sleeping at work, they pay, I’m in,» said developer Kostya Kazmiruk .
And Oleksandr Gukov said that he heard from friends that there are unlimited vacations in Ukrainian IT companies — as much as you need, as much as you need. «It’s interesting… Especially when you’ve been working for several years without rest,» he noted.
