>>>>Unless you like paying people to work on there Facebook page and talk with there friends, etc etc rather doing the work they are supposed to be doing and getting paid for. [With all due respect / not trying to start an argument here, I am just passionate about this subject, and well, kinda enjoy it. The point is very valid, and I can see it's place at many organizations. But not across the boards...] Yeah, actually WE don't mind paying people to these things. Like I said before, our employees will bend over backwards for our company, 24/7/365. We have a very grey line between company time and personal time. The thing is, we have a dedicated work force that is more than happy to compromise their personal time after hours and help the company if needed. Whether they are at home after hours, on vaca, etc. Therefore, I feel a need to reciprocate the same treatment back to them during business hours. Treat your employees like humans, and they will give you amazing results. Personal lives should NEVER go on hold. Alienate your employees with robotic mandates (In this context: Facebook filters), and they will quit giving you 110%. iTunes on all machines, make your personal appointments on company time, 8am sharp does not exist... I could go on, and it's besides the point. Yeah, the perks here are great, but the way our workforce is whole heartily devoted to our company is priceless. These guys are great, and will do anything for us. It's not through chance or luck that we have great employees, it derives from the way we treat them. -Sam
