Perks | Britain's 'best boss' sends workers to Mexico & Thailand

Compensation and benefits are usually limited to the likes of fresh fruit deliveries, activity days and the odd afternoon off for smashing company targets – however one duo at a Birmingham-based digital start-up takes the idea of employee rewards to a whole new level.

Business leaders Mike Bandar and James Vardy of Turn Partners regularly treat their staff to month-long luxury holidays to destinations such as Mexico and Thailand – The Sun reports. Along with the all-expenses-paid jet setting, employees at the firm are encouraged to take as much annual leave as they please.

The company’s nine staff members have spent working days "eating fajitas on a Mexican beach, jet skiing in Thailand and enjoying all-expense-paid spa treatments", according to the report. In February of 2018, the two owners flew the entire staff to Goa and Mumbai in India for a month-long stay – citing that it is imperative for their staff to be happy if they are to be productive.

Bandar commented: “From time to time we like to treat our team to a month-long holiday so that we can all escape the cold British weather and not go too long without some sunshine. Turn Partners covers the costs and although we generally go away for the month, staff can come and go for as long as they please.”
