Top Startup Perks to keep your Squad Happy
There is a misconception that a huge paycheck is the only way to keep employees happy. The present wave of talent is not that easy to please.
Employees nowadays are more productive and stay longer in an organization that prioritizes their health and happiness. There are several creative ways to show your squad that you really care for them.

Health & Wellness programs
People spend the majority of their time at work. An employee who is mindful, healthy and fit can be more effective and productive. Promoting corporate health and wellness can be your way-to-go when it comes to increasing productivity at workplace. One approach to implement preventive care is to set up regular health check-ups, wellness seminars and provide basic medications free of cost. Team building is also a vital factor to succeed and many organizations are providing memberships for a gym, spa, or recreational center to help their team develop strong bonds with each other.
Free snacks
There is an old saying in India — “Happiness enters your body through your stomach”. Giving free snacks is something, many companies are adopting nowadays to keep their employees charged and happy at the workplace. Google is one of them and it offers varieties of food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t suggest you offer three full meals unless your revenue is similar to Google. Instead, if you can provide healthy & nutritious snacks, you will find your team more energetic in their daily work life. Your snack stack can comprise of fruits, yogurts, protein bars and anything that is nutritious.
Team trips
Company outings not only help your team develop better bonding but also boost their happy hormones. It eventually strengthens friendships and builds trust amongst your team members. These small escapes can help your team to recharge themselves and feed the creative aspect of their life. You can plan for kayaking, scavenger hunt, rock climbing, volunteering activities for non-profits, etc.
Pet-Friendly workplace
Many people have pets left alone at home when they head to the office. Having a pet-friendly office allows employees to work without worrying about their pets and also creates a positive vibe at the workplace. Cuddling with pets once in while can help employees to relieve their stress. Pets can also help employees to socialize with each other in a better way.
