The pandemic has caused us to be more creative and think outside the box for situations like this. Potential options might include additional mental health benefits, onsite daycare, subsidies for daycare or tutoring, flexible scheduling arrangements, meal planning or meal delivery assistance, or ready-to-cook meals available onsite for employees to take home. However, the right option will depend on your company culture and the needs of your employees. Short and topic focused pulse surveys have been helpful to determine top employee concerns or needs. Employers might consider using a pulse survey to ask employees what they would value most before designing and rolling out new benefits or programs.
