Believe it or not, Silicon Valley BigCos are much better at seeing that this matters, and building custom stuff for their employees when necessary. It's not a coincidence that about half of the top 10 companies in the US by market cap are from SV.
From a traditional perspective, Google and Facebook are "just" advertising firms if you see where their revenue comes from; but they have historically done things that go counter to the traditional cubicle farm company like allowing employees more freedom about what to work on, putting in bright colors and such. These things have an effect on productivity, it's just harder to demonstrate a direct relation.
