I'm working with 2 teammates on a leadership capstone project that could become a real company initiative. My original idea was to bring back merit-based raises, but we were encouraged to explore benefits beyond the standard (health insurance, 401(k), PTO, holidays, etc.). What unique, non-monetary benefits would you love your employer to offer? We're looking for creative ideas that boost employee satisfaction without increasing pay.

The problem with the premise of this problem is that unless base salary/benefits are meeting the employee needs, nothing will increase satisfaction.

Assuming the company pays well, offers decent 401k and pays a solid portion of the health insurance costs: Flexible Scheduling

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.
