Best Healthy Office Perks in Boston

Posted by Rebecca Bilodeau on May 3, 2018 3:17:39 PM

As people spend more and more time at work, employers have begun searching out services and products to help improve office culture and keep employees healthy and energized. This has led to some pretty exciting new ideas, as well as ways of rethinking existing employee benefits.

We're headed to the PERKS Convention in a few days, which will highlight some companies providing awesome extras. If you're able to join us at PERKS, we'd love to see you. But if you can't make it, these are some of our favorite local companies offering healthy office perks.
