Waging a battle in the talent wars? Your recruitment arsenal probably includes the standard weapons - vacations, bonuses, expense accounts - and maybe even a few special perks
like company-issued cell phones or funding for continued education. Alexander Ogilvy PR is raising the stakes. The company's most unusual perquisites for staffers include:
- $2,000 a year for anything that improves quality of life, from childcare to vacations
- $2,000 a year for professional growth
- Up to six days of summer vacation above allotted time to be made up on a "flex" plan
- Global exchange programs that allow employees to get a taste of Alexander Ogilvy offices around the world
- Activities supported by a "fund for fun," from group outings to in-office manicures to entertainment equipment
