Their responses:
- Flexible schedules (41% said this is the benefit they’d most like to have)
- The ability to leave early on Fridays (28%)
- Activities like a company picnic or potluck (11%)
- Relaxed dress code (5%)
- Other (7%), and
- Don’t know/no answer (9%).
(Note: The numbers don’t add up to 100% due to rounding.)
Many companies are on board
A lot of companies are in tune with their workers, as these benefits top the list of the perks they’re offering this summer.

Their responses:
- Flexible schedules (75%)
- Early leave on Fridays (63%)
