What is your dream job like? Kitchen jam packed with free food, hip work culture, a job you can be passionate about and never ending ‘paid’ vacations. Is that too much to ask?
Well, probably for us. But not for 250 lucky employees out there!
Anyone who is working for SteelHouse gets $2,000 bonus every year to travel the world! Meet CEO Mark Douglas who came up with this revolutionary idea which is showing brilliant results.
Mark says, “Our culture is really simple. It’s based on trust and ambition.” Employees can choose to go any place they want. They can come back with bills and $2,000 worth of bills will be reimbursed by the company. So if they don’t use the money the whole year, they just lose it.
“You have cash, and if you don’t go on vacation and spend this money, the money literally goes to waste. It’s another level of saying this is real.”
Mark says that ever since this policy has come in place, people have been more efficient. Out of 250, only 5 employees have left the company and results are twice as better than before.
Steelhouse is an advertising agency and has a great work culture in Culver City, USA. Once in a while, everyone should take time off work, otherwise people just burn out.
The company was established in the year 2010 and the employees were told that they have unlimited vacation time! But no one really knew how to interpret that, so the $2,000 policy was the next thoughtful step.Â
The policy is pretty awesome. You can take multiple vacations in a year or you can blow all the cash at once!
That’s just the best bonus ever. I need such a good job in my life!
