Superhuman, an AI startup based in the United States, is changing its approach to in-office attendance by offering substantial cash incentives to employees. The company provides $500 (approximately ₹46,000) quarterly for those who come into the office two days a week, and up to $2,000 (around ₹1,85,000) for those who attend five days a week. This shift came after the company's chief people officer, Kenny Mendes, noted difficulties in getting employees to comply with a two-day in-office mandate. Many employees cited practical barriers, such as parking costs and inadequate desk setups, as reasons for their reluctance to return. In response, Superhuman focused on enhancing the office experience by identifying and removing these friction points. As a result of this new strategy, the company has seen a 57% surge in daily attendance since January. The incentives include wellness stipends for various everyday expenses, making the office environment more attractive and rewarding for employees. This trend reflects a broader shift in corporate policies, recognizing that strict attendance mandates are often ineffective after employees have enjoyed the flexibility of remote work.
