A8: Many companies are LOOKING for great female talent in these industries. Don't waste your time trying to change a biased company that isn't willing. Great tech companies for women are out there- find them!

A2: education is HUGE and finding the right means to communicate that to employees. sending a 10 page instruction guide on HSAs isn't doing anyone any good.

A1. As an employee perks company, we know how great offering awesome perks can be for employees! In 2018, we loved watching other companies take notice of that trend, and see the effect perks and recognition can have on engaging and retaining their employees.

During these difficult times, our team is hard at work negotiating offers to help you navigate the impacts of Covid-19. PerkSpot will use our Twitter to highlight relevant, exclusive deals for PerkSpot members, as well as share public-facing deals we hope you'll find helpful.

A3: I'd also love to know WHO is doing the communicating. Are you collaborating with marketing? Who is responsible for creating these pieces? Getting mktg involved is crucial.

These days, the candidate pool is more diverse than ever. There are plenty of indicators of fit for a role asides from a degree. Opening up your hiring process means opening up your company to fresh ideas from people with unique skills you haven't encountered before.

Do you think other women are saying this too? Interesting how that competitive nature creeps in and causes us to fight AGAINST each other instead of together.

A lot of times people are afraid of being "wrong" and scrutinized for their personal perspectives, when usually, there is no "right" or "wrong." Living in that fear takes away from valuable discussions and learning opportunities.

There probably are great causes your team is already passionate about- find out what they are and build a program around that! We created a community champions program here that makes it easy for employees to get involved with community projects. Another idea? Offer VTO

A2. What's out? A wellness program that focuses on one aspect of a person.
What's in? A holistic approach! Body, mind and spirit are equally important.

Your "peace of mind" point is so true! It's incredible how helpful a flexible schedule can be when something important comes up at home that you have to handle. All productivity goes out the window if you're stuck at work stressing about things at home.

A6: We support various charities throughout the year with "Perks for a Purpose", but especially around the holidays we do coat drives, food drives, angel trees - every year we mix it up but we love giving back to the community in a small way!

Q6. Volunteerism is a great way to encourage a culture of gratitude. Does your organization sponsor or participate in special holiday or year-long volunteer programs? (angel tree, clothing/food drive, meal preparation/delivery, etc.)

I was not at a tech company but i did leave a job because another woman unfairly spoke out against me. I was in my 20s and quickly learned that i needed to stand up for myself or be taken advantage of. I came with data to support why she was wrong - not just emotion.

A4. I would never want HR and recruitment to lose its human quality, but a chatbot that could screen for small details (ex. graduation date on a resume) could be a helpful time save.

Agreed.

This is a great Q. Ties into Q7 - Culture starts at the top and so does positivity. Hire leadership that is genuinely passionate about what you do and who you serve.

A2. It’s A LOT of work with (sometimes) very little recognition. To survive as a DOO you need focus on the day-to-day impact you make at the organization (even if others don’t immediately see it)
