Company perks can feel like a personalised touch from the employer to the employee, something that shows the team that they are valued and will be well looked after.

Perkbox believe that 61% of the UK’s workforce is disengaged; something that company perks can help to change. Whilst Glassdoor found that 57% of all workers say perks and benefits are among the top things that people consider when they decide whether to accept a job.
