🧘 1.1 Corporate perks & benefits
Corporate perks & benefits are increasingly important for hiring and retaining talent. Employee perks help elevate a company’s employer brand; the positive vibes flow and help build a strong and positive reputation of the company outside of the workplace. And you know what they say about happy employees: happy customers aren’t far behind 🙂
When setting up your company perks, it is important to keep in mind that choice might be the best modern benefit - thus, to create an inclusive and flexible employee benefits, you will need to offer a certain range of different perks and if feasible even let your employee chose the benefits most suitable for their needs.

🏋️♀️ 1.2 Employee training
- Leadership Training:
- What? Leadership training typically builds on foundational skills, helping employees hone communication skills, project management, strategy, and, of course, leadership itself.
- For whom? Leadership training typically builds on foundational skills. Hence it is best to offer this training to employees who are on track to become a manager, or those recently promoted into a leadership position.
- Compliance Training:
- Compliance training is any kind of training every employee must undergo. This kind of training can range from safety to security to technical and beyond.
- For whom? All employees! Should be implemented once time core tools are updated, new harassment policies are put into place, security measures change, and so on
- Onboarding Training:
- Onboarding training should cover the essentials all new employees need to know: introductions to tools or software, communication practices, support resources, who to contact about particular issues, and so on.
- For whom? New Employees
- For a structured onboarding experience, we recommend 10lift or Kohomai

1.3 Flexible working arrangements
- By now, most employees "expect" flexible work arrangement. Looking at our portfolio most companies, offer at least a hybrid set-up.
- Check-out Flexa’s accreditation to outwardly publicize your flexibility
- An additional benefit could be to "allow" your employees to work X weeks from another country - note that it is important to check-out the bilateral agreements your HQ country has with other countries with regards to social security and tax.
- More and more countries, but also companies (voluntarily) are adopting the 4-days working week. The idea behind a four-day work week is to achieve the same results in fewer hours so people have more time to pursue other interests outside of work.

Latte macchiato, Liege, Laptop - diese reizvolle Kombi wünschen sich immer mehr coronamüde Angestellte in Deutschland.

A Guide to Implementing the 4-Day Workweek
As organizations continue to explore a variety of flexible work options, one promising avenue is the four-day workweek: The standard 40 hours per week is reduced to 32 hours, with the same pay and the same productivity expectations. Research suggests reducing hours can benefit both employees and employers, but it can be difficult to go from the idea to a successful implementation.
