A journalist at the Mail Online is writing a piece this morning on quirky workplace perks. Do your clients offer anything slightly wacky or weird, or plain cool? If so, write away and &nbsp;tell us. The client can either be named or anonymous (clearly it's great free publicity for them if named). Deadline is mid-morning.&nbsp;

Urgent - Quirky Workplace Perks

We partner with a tech firm in Staffordshire that offers a fully stocked kitchen that provides their people with lunch every day. In the marketplace, this is a very cool perk. We support several businesses within the engineering and tech space that host annual retreats, often themed around team building and giving individual experiences.

The world of employee perks is fast moving and dynamic and is conducive to organisations’ need to be ahead of the curve and win the attraction and retention battles we are seeing. Puppy leave, doggy day care and forest bathing are among the more cathartic options offered across our clients, however for the money-hungry Generation Z, mortgage and savings schemes, salary sacrifice in crypto currency and embracing and engaging with employees ‘side hustles’ are all becoming a feature. Pool and table tennis tables, beer fridges and pizza Fridays are a thing of the past, as WFH and remote working becoming the norm.

Coremaker, the software development company, is entirely remote and so brings the whole company together once a year to work from the same location. This is usually a holiday resort with conference facilities which are used for meetings and workshops. There are evening and weekend activities for the team to enjoy, whilst making sure the clients are looked after and work is getting done during business hours.

Fetching is the free app that makes it easy to share the school run with your friends and family because we make sure your child’s school is always informed. Here’s how it works With Fetching, you can create a secure profile and connect with friends and family you trust to collect your school, swap a playdate, or look after your dog (yes, dog dates are coming too!). All of our users are verified using government ID, so no-one can pretend to be someone they’re not. This will enable you to build a network of people that you trust. Our system connects with your child’s school so that they know exactly who is collecting your child each day, and if your school is not already using Fetching, you can invite them via the app. When you collect another person’s child, you earn loyalty points that you will be able to use to claim rewards from one of our chosen partners. Why Fetching? Aside from saving on costs and ensuring that everyone in your family is looked after as you return to the office, our ID verification means that everyone using the app is exactly who they say they are.
