Things like app subscriptions and so on are just distracting gimmicks that companies provide to tick the box without taking the real actions that takes guts to take.
- Pay them good money, they are adults, this replaces all your "allowances"
- Give them flexible work hours
- Ensure no work, sms, email, slack, etc is expected implicitly or explicitly after work hours
None of this is hard except companies don't genuinely want to commit to these benefits. They want the benefit to come to them for free. So instead they go chasing gimmicks.
- jackcodes 7y agoI wouldn't have an issue committing to those benefits you've listed. Agreed, app is a gimmick although I'm not too sure the other two are quite as far into the gimmick category. It seems like you've taken it as either/or rather than 'and'. I want to offer all of the above things AND offer any specific benefits that also offer sleep enhancement.
