A ping pong table is cheaper and less effort.
I shrug…I like WFH…it’s me vs the machine and that’s that. I hated the forced corporate fun when I was still in that environment. It’s “collaborative”…no…no it’s not.
Sure…having Little John spin the company party was a neat story…getting paid 50k more and working in quiet peace is a better one.
others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.
That is never the answer. If your business isn’t retaining people because the party culture isn’t party enough…you’ve got way bigger problems…and it’s probably leadership.
Every HR department ever says that exact same thing. Even while the company is burning down and past bankruptcy.
Edit: For example, the fortune 50 I worked for insisted the same thing. Even when faced with industry data…they’d insist the Glassdoor and Indeed numbers were fake.
I left and got a 90% raise. That’s not a joke number.
