As major companies like Amazon and JPMorgan enforce strict return-to-office policies, Cameo distinguishes itself by offering $10,000 annually to employees who commit to four days in the office. The CEO emphasizes turning the HQ into a desirable workplace. Additional benefits include free lunch, gym access, and relocation assistance for remote employees. This approach aims to alleviate the stress of urban living costs, especially for early-career workers, while retaining workforce satisfaction. So far, no employees have quit due to the new policy, indicating a positive reception despite general resistance to return-to-office mandates in the corporate sector.
"We really felt like we wanted to make HQ a perk, not a punishment," Cameo CEO Steven Galanis told CNBC. "We know we're asking more out of you to give up the flexibility, and we wanted to compensate you for it."
"That might be the difference between them being able to get an apartment in the city or having to take the train because they live with their parents in the suburbs," Galanis said.
