Ping Pong table ? Are they serious ?!? We had a PS5 in the meeting room for ~4 month an no one ever touched it. I don't go to work to have a fun time, I go to do my job, then leave and have a fun somewhere else. More correct answers for retaining employees:

  • give them tasks they are interested in
  • give them perspective for developement (promotions, raise, mobility, etc)
  • value their contributions and support them moraly (you want to know your managers and colleages got your back)
  • of course more money ! Or alternatively more freetime !

Absolutely correct. I always wonder when I see such reports where HR comes up with their completely stupid notion that work is not about earning money.

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well, it's not just the money obviously, but a lot of HR takes that to the convenient extreme that "the money doesn't matter".

It also changes based on the compensation amount. Someone making $300k/year may feel less obsessed with a raise versus someone making $50k/year.

I would not bet a penny on this...

While everyone wants more money, from what I've seen, higher paid people get more petty about non-cash stuff. So the person making not quite enough to cover them confidently may not have the attention to spare for non-cash BS. Then as they get their money comfortable, they then start getting swayed by other things. An important sounding title, having a seat with a view in the office, having their name appear in recognition announcements. Not so sure about this froofy stuff like ping pong tables, I don't think I've ever seen anyone value that, however I'd imagine if candidates see people using such benefits that may give an impression of significant leisure time, which may be appealing, but a disused table would probably look worse than having no table at all.

Incorrect right answer a air hockey table you don't want money you want to play the Foosball

[-] HelloHotel@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! My thoghts exactly! I am an addict to foosball. Anything to enable my adiction is worth it! I have 3 tables at home already (all Mimic free) and am able to play 2 games at the same time. /s

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Foosball is a four person game I'll die on that hill. And not even because I suck at defence (as such, I do plenty of that mid-field and forward) but because the game isn't about frantically grabbing handles. So yes air hockey is an excellent addition.

Air hockey is so fun even if I'm terrible at it

Profit sharing can be one hell of an incentive to retain and motivate employees.

[-] Nommer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

One of my previous jobs had an employee exercise room. Some people used it and management didn't like that so they said we're not allowed to use it during our shift and only after hours. It was a government position so we weren't allowed to be in the building before or after our shift.

These places only use them to advertise to new employees how "friendly" they are.

More correct answers for retaining employees:

  • Have managers that aren't oblivious idiots
  • Have even higher-ups that aren't oblivious idiots
  • Don't treat employees like easily replaceable money-eating parasites
