Everyone loves a work perk. And in recent years, large corporations have upped their game when it comes to that little something extra for employees. While in the UK, Starbucks workers can get a leg-up onto the property ladder, in the US, some employers are paying off student debt.

Large corporations aren’t exactly known for intimate connections with their workers. But Starbucks wants to break the mould to foster supportive relationships with its staff. In an attempt to do so, it's introduced the ‘Home Sweet Loan’ programme to help workers in tough financial times.

The pursuit of happiness within the workplace has always been important - and as Millennials join the workforce, they're vocalising it more than ever. So how can a company make things work for current employees and ensure they’re appealing to today's many jobseekers too?

Whether it's a monthly barbecue served by the boss, a gaming suite in the office, or bringing your parents to work, smart businesses like Google are motivating their millennial workforce with more perks, not just more money.
