Imagine yourself living the good life and working at the same time. Employees of SAS do that every day. The SAS Institute is a software development firm in North Carolina. In 2010 and 2011, it was number one on Fortune magazine's list of "Best 100 Companies to Work for America."

SAS provides special benefits, namely perks, to their employees because they believe that perks reduce distractions so everyone can focus on work. These innovations also encourage employees to interact with each other.

The perks are symbolic representations of how the company values its people. The whole assortment of benefits exists to constantly remind workers that they're important and greatly matter to the success of the firm.

SAS employees, and their families, have free access to a massive gymnasium featuring tennis and basketball courts, a weight room, and a heated pool. And, of course, common work areas are routinely filled with snacks and treats.

The company's benefits are impressive as well. One benefit is a company child-care center. Another is a free health care facility for employees and their families. This includes an on-site health care clinic, staffed by physicians, nutritionists, physical therapists, and psychologists also is entirely free. In addition to no-cost "work-life" counseling which helps employees more effectively manage the stresses of everyday life.

More than anything, SAS has found that by being an especially benevolent and respectful organization, they consistently produce the most optimal workplace performance. Their workers instinctively and positively respond to an organization that routinely demonstrates that they matter and are individually valued. In addition, the highly skilled and talented workers remain competitive and innovative and rarely leave. This appears to show that the benefits are a success. While not all companies go to such extremes to keep their employees happy, it is clear that this strategy works well for SAS.
