Would $25,000 (164,000 yuan) for [b]IVF treatment[/b] be helpful?
How about [b]an [/b][b]on-site nursery[/b] place... for your pet?
Fortune Magazine has revealed that top companies offer some pretty [b]fancy perks [/b]to attract employees.
Staff[b] sweeteners[/b] include a Latin-style dance exercise called Zumba to improve employee [b]well-being[/b] and [b]motivation[/b].
Really [b]stressed-out[/b] employees may develop frown lines. But at one company staff whose faces are[b] showing the strain [/b]can have Botox treatment during their lunch break at the company's own clinic.
Another company offers the corporate jet to [b]bereaved[/b] employees, while one employer gives staff who are finding it difficult to get pregnant $25,000 towards IVF treatment.
But for the business commentator Lucy Kellaway, some companies go too far in trying to help employees achieve a good [b]work-life balance[/b].
"Such benefits, even the nice ones, are all pretty [b]creepy[/b]" she says. "There ought to exist [b]a boundary[/b] between employer and employee - between home and work. And Botox and IVF are a long way on the wrong side of it."
For Ms Kellaway, the real proof of a top employer is not its [b]touchy-feely[/b] benefits but whether staff choose [b]to stay put[/b] for a long time.
