They also have an app which allows you to recognise the efforts of your team virtually with bonus perks and prizes, which is particularly powerful as flexible and remote working becomes the widely accepted norm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perkbox offer a variety of perks from, cinema tickets to private medical care but Chieu believes the magic is in the recognition: <\/span><b>\u201cIt\u2019s a basic human need to be recognised. We talk a lot about financial recognition where you get a bump in satisfaction and it tapers off [&#8230;] Recognition on an ongoing basis has a much more profound impact on motivation\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chieu touches on the generational shift that is forcing managers to rethink previously accepted ways of working, \u201c<\/span><b>Millennials make up one third of the workforce [&#8230;] they believe in having a purpose, a mission [&#8230;] they believe in themselves [&#8230;] either you conform or get out the way\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though this mindset may be causing a stir in senior management meetings, Chieu believes this understanding of self worth is a great development for our society;\u00a0<\/span><b>\u201cWith the transparency of information online [&#8230;] millennials don\u2019t have that fear of the unknown anymore [&#8230;] I say u<\/b><b>nderstand your worth to the business and be strong about that. Don&#8217;t let anyone slow you down\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge for Perkbox is the management mindset, <\/span><b>\u201cfor people who don\u2019t believe in our world, it\u2019s really hard to get them to change and adopt it\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Chieu believes getting senior management on side (or middle managers in larger companies) is key to growing employee happiness,<\/span><b> \u201cGood management is really important [&#8230;] people leave managers but join companies\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Perkbox, employees have unlimited holiday and flexible working.
