Paintball and other perks of the job

Lots of vacation trips, on-site gyms, personal trainers, and paintball excursions are among the many benefits that companies offer. Some throw out the dress code. We asked about special perks and incentives that employers are providing. These are partial responses:

Shire P.L.C.

Benefits include a free on-site gym, bi-weekly deliveries of locally- and sustainably-grown produce through the Farm-to-Shire program, two on-site cafeterias, on-site conference center and catering, dry-cleaning pickup and delivery, and priority parking for eco-friendly vehicles.

All employees can reserve luxurious Toll Bros. guesthouses in fabulous locations.

As a reward for meeting company goals, we often rent out local go-kart tracks, or take employees paintballing or zip-lining.

The benefits our employees talk about most though are less formal. We don't have a dress code - employees are just asked to use good judgment. We have breakfast every Friday and catered lunches once a month. Throw in a company holiday party, a summer BBQ, and potluck lunches - we offer a lot of free food! Since we offer so much food, we also sponsor a wellness program to encourage employee health and fitness with prizes, dietitian and strength training consultation.
