What Office Amenities Do Your Employees Really Want?



One of the best tools a company has to attract and retain top talent is the amenities they can offer their employees, but what amenities are the most rewarding ones to invest in? Here are some ideas from our commercial office furniture team.

  1. Personal project time: Strictly speaking, this is more of a perk than an amenity, but it’s a great idea anyway. Pioneered by 3M, the aim is to allow employees a certain amount of time and flexibility to work on their passion projects. Although this sounds counter-productive, the reality is that it improves overall engagement and productivity as well as energy levels. Even Google has a “20% Time” rule to allow for this, which produced Gmail!
  2. Concierge services: If you want your employees to stay busy, engaged and focused at work, the best thing to do is to take some of those distracting, everyday tasks off their hands. Concierge services can take care of your employee’s personal errands, like grocery shopping, ensuring that they have one thing less to worry about in their day and they can stick to a healthier diet more easily.
  3. Wellness programs: These can be tailored to your company budget and employee needs, and can include anything from onsite gyms, yoga and health classes, to access to an onsite nurse. You can also subsidize your employee’s health club subscriptions, incentivize cycling to work, or start a company running club. Wellness programs are critical not just to employee happiness and job satisfaction, but also to reducing stress and sick days – so it works for both you and your staff.
  4. A better commute: The location of your offices isn’t always going to be convenient for everyone, but there are a few things your business can do to take the expense and stress out of a heavy-traffic commute. From offering flexible workdays and work-from-home days to a commuter shuttle, you can keep your employees feeling fresh, energized and stress-free every day.

Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic – they’re
