The Best Gift You Can Give Your Employees – Forbes

The Best Gift You Can Give Your Employees – Forbes.

Do you agree with this point of view from Forbes that the best way to retain employees is through a diverse set of corporate volunteer programs?  That seems like a good idea, but I would still much rather have telecommuting, competitive pay, extended vacations, gym passes, maybe some stock options, and for the employer to be more proactive paying for training and continued education.

I think with more of an investment in the individual, at least how I feel, I would be more inclined to volunteer for the company.  If they take care of me I would have greater motivation to help others under the company umbrella.  What do you think?

I think everyone should volunteer some time outside of the company anyways.  There are always a lot of opportunities, even if it is as simple as a 5k walk to raise a few bucks.
