I heart this Benefit
Green Goldfish #781 – Blue Buddha Boutique
Submitted by Founder Rebeca Mojica:
At Blue Buddha Boutique, a supplier of do-it-yourself metal jewelry kits, our perks go beyond generous paid time off, health care premium coverage and employee discounts (all of which we do offer). One of the unique cute and valued things we do for our team members is premium chocolate on paydays. The General Operations Manager purchases the chocolate ahead of time and then distributes two pieces to each person. Sometimes they’ll pick up chocolate when they walk in and go past the manager’s desk. Everyone has a physical “inbox” so for people who aren’t there, the manager will put the chocolate in their inbox so it is there for them on their next working day.”
Today’s Lagniappe (a little something extra thrown in for good measure) – Anyone ever heard of a chocolate pizza? Looks so good:
The example in the post was taken from the Green Goldfish Project. The Project is a quest to find 1,001 examples of marketing lagniappe for employees. Green goldfish are the little signature extras given to employees. They help differentiate a company, reinforce culture, increase retention and drive positive WoM. The book, “What’s Your Green Goldfish?” will be published on March 29, 2013.
