With the debate still raging about the return to the office and the hybrid work model, many employers and HR leaders are trying to decide if they should take a carrot or stick approach.
Is it better to mandate a return to the workplace through stern messaging and tracking employee attendance, or is it better to provide incentives such as free lunches and parking subsidies?
A recent survey of Canadian employees suggests the latter would be a welcome initiative. Many workers want employers to fully fund parking (71%) and clothing (58%), though they are less adamant when it comes to toll roads (36%), public transportation (33%), food (28%) and gas (22%).
