The Coveted Office Perk Employees Want Most Beer taps, company retreats, free snacks—many a modern workplace seems to be brimming with perks. More than 50 percent of employees say that workplace benefits help them achieve a better quality of life—and happiness is, after all, the secret to workplace productivity. There is, however, one perk employees seek more than others. According to a survey conducted by Washington, D.C.–based research firm Clutch that polled more than 500 Americans working full-time, 41 percent of respondents said that having a flexible schedule—meaning an alternative to the traditional 9-to-5, 40-hour work week—was their favorite workplace benefit. More than 50 percent of employees also said it was the perk that most contributed to their happiness at work. Flexibility allows employees to vary their arrival and/or departure times; under some policies, employees instead work a prescribed number of hours per pay period and be present during a daily "core time." Because the modern workplace is designed around the idea of managing energy and not time, there is no one-size-fits-all format when it comes to setting workplace hours. Employers and employees should work together to create a schedule that best accommodates productivity.
