Cameo is encouraging employees to return to its Chicago headquarters by offering a $10,000 annual raise, along with free lunch, parking, and gym access. This initiative will require employees to work in the office Monday through Thursday, adhering to a new four-day policy. CEO Steven Galanis emphasizes the importance of making the office environment attractive, noting that flexible remote work has led to differing preferences among employees. The strategy aims to balance workplace engagement and employee satisfaction, particularly benefiting junior staff seeking better living conditions in the city.
Roll out the red carpet is our first corporate value, and we really felt like we wanted to make HQ a perk, not a punishment. 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.
We really felt like we wanted to make HQ a perk, not a punishment.
If they wanted to move to Chicagoland, we would give them a relocation benefit and they'd be eligible.
