As Priorities Shift, Pre-Pandemic Office Perks Lose Appeal for Burned-Out Workers Seeking Security
-
Office culture as we knew it pre-pandemic is no longer attractive to workers who now prioritize flexibility, support, and remote work.
-
Younger generations of workers never experienced the "fun" perks like ping pong tables and are more interested in tangible benefits like pay and time off.
-
With less time spent in the office, the role of the office has changed and previous cultural elements don't have the same appeal.
-
Amid layoffs and crisis, there is a disconnect between "fun" office perks and what workers actually need - financial security and wellbeing.
-
If companies can't adapt to workers' shifting priorities and advocate for their basic needs, they risk losing talent to competitors.
