If you could create a completely unconventional employee benefit to attract top talent, what would it be? I value full remote though not unconventional..

I know what would get me is a "Purge Day" where we could say whatever we want to leadership and managers without any repercussions or HR reports. Maybe once a month? Then they day after we all just go back to normal like nothing happened. I feel like it would create a healthy work environment if everyone just got to say what's on their mind.

I would offer a 4 day work week or a flexible schedule. I think that would be an attractive perk to offer since not all companies are that flexible.

Just throwing this out there, but it would be great if we got some kind of food stipend. With the way that groceries are going up, I would work anywhere that gave me like $300 for groceries every month.

Four day work week; Friday meetings would be forbidden.

Onsite daycare facility offered at no cost M-F so long as the employee works onsite for the day.

Free access to Financial Management advisor/coach.

Reimbursement program for degrees and skill certificates (would include a two-year clawback clause, of course).



Beyond that, I’d need to interview/survey my employees to get a better feel for what they want. The hardest part of any offering is selling the idea to my C Suite leadership. They always follow up with “how much will this cost and what is the ROI.”

I'd pair fully remote with paid workcations, in addition to a standard vacation policy. Allow them to live the digital nomad lifestyle on the company dime - work remotely from anywhere in the world during the day/week, explore it by night/weekend. Could even shorten the work day during these stints to make it that much more attractive.

Where do you work?

Hear me out... unlimited PTO with work based wage. I think it'd work wonders especially for top talent.

Talk to me about the work based wage. Sounds interesting.

Choose between 8 days of double pay, 12 extra days of PTO, or a 7 day paid vacation to a poor but safe country for you and a plus-one.

It depends on what type of talent you are trying to attract. I know there isn't much emphasis on career development without having to stay at the company for X amount of years if paid for any degree. I would maybe offer that without any restrictions.

My current firm asked everyone to go back last week but since I am on leave I didn’t have to. I want to avoid lying without jeopardizing my chances.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
