The Best Soft Perks to Attract & Retain Your Dream Team

Every entrepreneur is different. Some have staffs of twenty, others have a staff of two.  Some work exclusively with contractors, others have a mix of dedicated employees. 

How you create your team is all about what works for your specific needs and goals. But whether it be an assistant, graphic designer, or CPA, you want the right people on your team. And furthermore, you want them to stay on your team. High turnover and re-training are expensive time wasters.  If you want to grow your business, you need to focus on what only you can do and consider outsourcing the tasks that eat up your valuable time. 

So how do you attract and retain the right team?  The obvious answer is higher pay and great benefits. But what happens when the job you need to fill is essential, but not so essential that it’s worth tacking on extra zeros?  Or what if the position does call for an extra zero, but they’re so in demand that you must compete with more established businesses when bringing in quality talent? 

You don’t have to break the bank to be a desirable place to work.  As many employees begin to poke their heads out of their home offices in a (somewhat) post-pandemic world, studies are showing that soft perks are a deciding factor for many people. 

Here are some soft perks to keep in mind when looking to enhance the workplace for your current team or searching for new talent to bring in:  

Flexible Schedules

I know some people cringe when they see this but hear me out: not all jobs make sense to have a Monday-Friday/9-5 schedule.  Some do, but many don’t. If you’re clear on due dates and recurring required meetings, there are plenty of positions that can give you exactly what you need, while the employee reaps the benefits of a flexible schedule. 

Work From Home Options

If there’s anything that the last (nearly) two years have taught us, it’s that being in the office doesn’t always equate to productivity.  If you’re hesitant about going entirely remote, work from home Fridays are gaining popularity and are a nice break from commuting for employees, however infrequent.
