The Little Things

By staff on January 8, 2008 Leave a Comment

It’s the little things that make “work” an enjoyable place to be. Since the average American spends more time at work than at home, I think it should! So many companies “budget-cut” the small things and perks that many employees enjoy. Is it really worth the happiness of the staff to save a little? Some little things I appreciate having at work:

  • coffee with “flavored creamer”
  • as many “post-its” as I need, or other office supplies
  • snacks
  • flexibility in coming and going to work
  • wearing what I want to wear
  • no time sheets/ punching in, punching out
  • good health benefits

What makes it worth it for you to spend most of your life at work? What “little” things do you appreciate?
