Company Name	Employee Benefits Offered
3M	3M offers a variety of perks to keep employees mentally and physically healthy. They offer smoking cessation, weight management, and stress management programs. The office also contains an on-site pharmacy, medical clinic, and fitness center. Employees can also take advantage of the company’s child and elder care consulting services.

Boston Consulting Group	Executives at the Boston Consulting Company strive to instil a work-life balance in their employees to combat the high intensity of consulting.

BCG offers generous leave; new moms can extend their unpaid leave up to one year (this includes adoptive mothers as well).

Other benefits help to keep employees healthy: the company offers healthy cooking lessons, subsidized costs on healthy meal options in the cafeteria, and an on-site fitness center.

Ernst & Young	EY provides a variety of benefits for working parents. The company provides low-cost back-up childcare and a parents’ network that includes seminars and forums (such as a forum for parents of children with special needs). EY was also one of the first big accounting firms to reimburse LGBT employees for the additional federal and state taxes incurred for their same-sex domestic partners’
Google	Google has long been known as a company with a wide variety of perks to keep employees happy and motivated.

Smucker offers its employees a number of health-related benefits, including on-site wellness opportunities (such as health screenings and education programs) and a financial incentive for employees enrolled in the company’s healthy lifestyle program.

People have used this money for everything from stand-up comedy classes (to overcome a fear of public speaking) to singing lessons.
