 » What’s Your Dream Benefit?

**“No more vacation or sick leave time tracking.** Rather, both of these should be unlimited—provided there is a standard in place to help employees understand expectations. As long as your work is getting done, you should be able to flex your hours.” *— Christina McCoy, manager of events and communities, International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions*

**“An onsite gym!** I would love to just get the workout done before or after work and not have to make an extra stop.” *— Christina Zimmer, CAE, communications manager, Ohio Association of School Business Officials*

**“Parking.** Having the access and flexibility it offers would be the greatest benefit since I frequently work late and travel.” *— Garet Turner, director of corporate relations, Council for Advancement and Support of Education*

**“I have always wanted guided meditation and yoga** as workplace benefits. It would have a positive impact on both the quality of life and the quality of the work product.” *— Michele Packard-Milam, CAE executive director, Mended Little Hearts*
