Home office, free drinks and a public transport pass These are the
perks that German communicators desire most of all from their
companies. dpa subsidiary news aktuell and Faktenkontor have
conducted a survey among PR professionals and managers on what they
expect from their employers in additional incentives apart from pay.
Almost 990 communications professionals took part in the PR Trend
Monitor.

Those surveyed were asked to state on a scale from 0 (completely
unimportant) to 10 (very important) the significance that different
perquisites have for them in their work. The option of being able to
work from home is the most important according to those surveyed
(8.6). Free drinks and compensation for the costs of public transport
travel are in second place on the list of wishes (each 7.1). The
corporate communicators were almost as pleased when their employers
provided them with mobile devices for their work, such as a notebook
(6.8) or a smartphone (6.5).

Company parking places were much less significant (5.3). Health
and care were also relegated to lower places on the list of desirable
perks. Provision by the employer of assistance for health insurance
or care for family members were seen as only moderately important
(each 5.8). The ubiquitous office fruit bowl turned out to be an
overrated benefit (4.7). Staff satisfaction does not greatly depend
on the availability of free apples and bananas.
