Gone are the days of tech companies with ping-pong tables or free-flowing alcohol at work. Tech companies are now offering parents more perks since they can't be in the office: think paid time off and paid childcare.
File this under how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything: The famous perks offered by tech companies no longer revolve around keeping people on campus as long as possible.
Tutor.com, which provides tutoring for students in K-12 and even college, has seen an “explosion” in interest from companies that may want to offer the company’s services as a perk. Whereas it used to field five to 10 inquiries a year, since April it has received 84 inquiries via a form on its website, said Sandi White, vice president and general manager of the New York-based company.
Some parents of younger children, especially, are feeling creeping anxiety based on their experiences from when schools had to go into emergency distance-learning mode in the spring. Extra PTO might come in handy for people like them, whose kids are too young to go online, pay attention and do their work without guidance and supervision. Google, which already offered six weeks of what it calls carer’s leave, added eight weeks on top of that because of the COVID-19 crisis, a spokeswoman said.
