HR managers are always looking for new, effective benefits to offer their employees. I have recently learned of a unique and engaging benefit: providing the tools and space for your employees to learn and play musical instruments at work.
I spoke with Ethan Kaplan, General Manager at Fender Digital, and Bhawna Provenzano, Director of Employee Benefits and Diversity at Zappos. These two companies have recently teamed up to roll out this one-of-a-kind employee benefit. Fender gave Zappos access to an app called Fender Play that helps novice musicians learn to play instruments. Additionally, Zappos created a room where, on break or during lunch, employees may begin to learn to play an instrument, practice, or jam with their coworkers.
