Offering perks and benefits on a budget?

Most companies have been impacted in some way by COVID-19. And while people are redoing their budgets, perks and benefits are likely on the chopping block. Here is a resource for you to not just cut back and consolidate, but to improve your perks at the same time. 


COVID-19 strategies to support your team

There doesn’t need to be much of an intro here, you know what’s going on and that you need to change your strategies to help our people. You are living this right now.


Offering remote perks for your team?

Almost everyone who can work remote right now is doing so. And the thing is, after COVID-19 is over, this might be a strategy that we see continue. The “genie is out of the bottle” as organizations see their people successfully work from home, encouraging them to re-evaluate their in-office policies which could result in money saved too.

Attracting and supporting a diverse workforce?
