For some people, a weekly -or even monthly check is enough, but others care about other aspects of a job more than just the pay. While health and dental benefits are pretty standard, some companies like to be a little more creative. Glassdoor compiled a list of the 20 best employee benefits and the list might just make you want to go on a job search. A few highlights:
- IKEA offers up to four months of paid parental leave to both part-time and full-time employees with at least one year of experience at the company
- Scripps Health cares about the wellbeing of its employees’ furry family members, offering pet health insurance for cats and dogs.
- Insurance company Swiss Re’s “Own the Way You Work” program encourages employees to embrace flexibility with their schedules and work remotely.
So check out the full list over on Glassdoor.

Here's where I get to point out that in Sweden (and several other countries), everyone get a longer parental leave than IKEA's US policy (#1) including access to a lactation consultant (#8), healthcare coverage (even interns) from #5, no college tuition (#7), and childcare (#19). And a lot of vacation time. I'm self-employed, and I get something like a year of parental leave. Oh, and the latest is that kids get free eyeglasses up to 18 years old.
