Internship testimonials - Episode 54: Favourite PJ’s Coffee drinks revealed

Employee benefits, also known as fringe perks or staff benefits, are additional rewards provided by employers to their workforce. These perks go beyond regular compensation and are designed to enhance the overall employee experience.

Having these policies in place can greatly enhance employee motivation and address their concerns regarding their future and overall well-being. A robust benefits package for employees can significantly contribute to attracting and retaining top talent. These employee benefit packages may encompass profit-sharing opportunities, paid overtime and vacation time, private health insurance coverage, as well as retirement benefits.

In addition to the significant benefits mentioned above, it is important to recognise the value of simple perks such as offering free coffee to staff members. This seemingly small gesture can have a profound impact on employee satisfaction and productivity.

It is a well-known fact that a significant portion of the workforce relies on their morning cup of coffee to kickstart their day. By providing free coffee in the workplace, employers are not only meeting a basic need but also showing that they understand and support their employees' daily routines.

Imagine a scenario where employees have to spend their hard-earned money on buying coffee every day. This can not only be inconvenient but also add up to a considerable expense over time.

By offering free coffee, employers are alleviating this financial burden and allowing employees to enjoy a perk that they would otherwise have to pay for. This small act of generosity can go a long way.

Moreover, the act of sharing a cup of coffee has cultural significance in Vietnam. It is not just a beverage but a way of connecting with others and experiencing meaningful interactions. By providing free coffee, employers are fostering a sense of community and promoting social interactions among employees. This can lead to stronger relationships, improved collaboration, and a more positive and cohesive work culture.
