Companies are thinking of various perks to reward and engage their remote workers while professionals have their own requests. Here are 25 job perks you should know about.

healthy snack delivery
some employers order fresh fruit or nuts and dried fruit mixes for their remote employees, to keep them away from harmful snacks

for some dog owners, the company hires a dog walker so their remote employee could focus 100% on work during busy weeks

many companies sponsor the professional development of their employees, and that is also true for remote employees
annual company retreat
virtual employees get to meet their colleagues in person, discuss the company's future, and relax
paid radio subscription
some companies pay for premium online radio subscriptions for their remote workers
fitness/sports allowance

for those that don't have a home office or perform better surrounded by other people, some companies grant employees access to a local coworking space
flexible work schedule
early risers and night owls can work when they're more productive, enjoying more freedom
cleaning services
when your home is your office, dirty dishes tend to pile up, that's why companies can pay for a cleaning company to keep their employees' homes tidy

industry magazine subscription
it's a great way to keep virtual employees in the loop regarding the industry and motivate them to get their own name published

performant hardware is important when people work from home, and employers make sure they help their staff get the best on the market

tickets to local events
some companies surprise their virtual team members with concert tickets and event passes to help them disconnect
massage therapy sessions
not even a standing desk can protect a worker from back pain, so monthly massage sessions are sometimes included in the benefits package
eye exams
it's always better to prevent vision problems than have to deal with them
weekly free lunch delivery
eating home cooked meals is great but it can become dull, so companies sometimes deliver lunch to their remote team members
city-break plane tickets
a rested and positive employee is more productive, so employers sometimes offer free plane tickets as a performance bonus, to help staff travel the world

coffee might fuel creativity and productivity, so if the office espresso machine is missing, some companies compensate by offering a coffee allowance
