Would you like to attract potential candidates or retain your current employees? Then consider offering these three truly unique and desirable benefits which are likely to capture their attention.

Paid overtime

This might sound like a standard must-have but it's not. In the Czech Republic, the limit on unpaid overtime hours is relatively high. As a result, employees may work many extra hours throughout the year without receiving any additional pay. In some companies, on the basis of informal agreements, overtime hours are not even officially recorded. A compelling benefit, therefore, can be guaranteed compensation for overtime, starting from the very first extra hour requested by the employer.

Sabbatical

As INC.com states, a sabbatical is long-term paid leave during which employees may pursue further education, work on a personal project, or simply travel. Sabbaticals usually last several months and are not only a highly valued benefit among employees but also an original way to maintain loyalty and support personal development outside work.

Company kindergarten

In many parts of the Czech Republic, finding a kindergarten place is a significant challenge. This is an issue affecting both large cities and small municipalities, making it a nationwide problem. Running a company kindergarten is thus a highly attractive and sought-after benefit. Moreover, it can be financially beneficial for employers, as it enables employees on parental leave to return to work sooner and more easily.
