Many companies have therefore strenghtened their employer branding and developed offers to motivate employees, to retain or to recruit them. What we have found:

After work drinks, latenight dinner, fresh fruit, flexible working hours, relax room, provision of company bicycles,, laptops or mobile phones, teamevents (e.g. company run, BBQ, canoe, foosball table, table tennis), gym membership, massage, yoga, coverage of moving costs, child custody, pet custody, ÖPNV ticket,  payed training days, feelgood manager a.s.o.
