#5 Fresh Tilled Soil gives its employees an all- expense paid ‘workation’

CEO of Fresh Tilled Soil, Richard Banfield offers his employees ‘a workation’.

And what is this, we’d wonder, so Richard further explains, “For woration we send our staff to exotic locations like Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The ideas is for them to try working remotely from some unusual location. We pay for their air ticket, accommodation and food – as well as surfing lessons or something that gets them out of their comfort zone.”

They do have to work a full day but they also get time to “surf do yoga, or whatever they want.”

This is not counted as vacation time.

#4 Softwire pays for singing lessons for everyone

If everything was as usual in other offices, Softwire did something different.

The London based startup offers music lessons for its employees. “We have a drum and a singing teacher who come into the office regularly to teach lessons to whoever wants one – we also have a couple of bands within the company,” says Zoe Cunningham, the managing director.

And if music isn’t your preference, the company has other options for you. It would probably send you for on-site lessons like sushi-making.
