IBM had this which I was proud of. At least they tried to understand the challenges of working from home.

Accenture did a re-org and sent people no-mic headphones and mints. Nothing I’m proud of, but that’s the most we did.

My industry org has historically had excellent WLB and that has been reinforced during this 100% telework environment. This is reliant on self reporting, so there might be some variance from actuals, but my entire org has averaged under 45 hours of work each week.

In addition, all levels of leadership regularly check in on their teams about WLB, home life, etc.

We haven't gotten stipends or any additional benefits, but it's nice seeing leadership up to the C-suite at least talking the talk about caring for the human side.
