Evolving Workplace Benefits for Gen Z

Companies are increasingly adapting their employee benefits to attract and retain Gen Z workers, focusing on perks beyond standard offerings like health insurance and paid leave. This shift includes innovative options such as 'pawternity leave,' which allows employees to take time off to bond with their pets, and special days like 'live music day' for attending concerts. A survey from India revealed that over 200 tech companies are implementing these types of benefits to prevent burnout and enhance employee well-being. The inclusion of such benefits reflects a growing recognition of the need to support a diverse range of personal interests that matter to younger generations.
