LOVE the latest article from the people over at SustainLane - looking at the best workplace bonus policies from a green perspective. Some quick highlights:The New Belgium Brewing Company gives all employees a free bike after one year on the job, in addition to offering an on-site climbing wall, yoga classes, and a 50-acre cyclo-cross track.
Clif Bar & Co. lets employees work incredibly flexible hours (80 hours per 9 business days rather than the standard 9-10 hours per day) so employees can take longer blocks of time off for outdoor trips.
One of the coolest packages I have ever seen, REI offers everything from health care for part time employees, flexible schedules and 50 percent public transit subsidies for commuters to lunchtime bike rides and Ultimate Frisbee. To help people pursue their passions, the clothing giant even allows up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a year.
I wouldn't put these on par with working at the Google campus (funnest afternoon I ever spent "working"), but I wouldn't complain about any of them either.
