Judging by recent media stories, you could be forgiven for thinking that the #1 perk employers can offer their workers, aside from lots of money, is a 4-day workweek. But that’s not the case, according to a recent poll of 1,000 workers in the US. In fact, according to the poll, the majority of employees don’t even care about a 4-day workweek. Those 26 and older showed significantly more interest than younger workers, but still, only about 25% said they’d prefer a long weekend, every weekend. So, what benefits do today’s employees most want? In order, the top 5 are: Paid healthcare (Duh.), life insurance, pension and retirement plans, mandatory time off, and mental health assistance.

When you make a 911 call with your cellphone it’s harder for dispatchers to know where you are. Which is why your first words should not be your name. The first thing you should say when calling 911 is your exact location and your phone number. No matter what, some sort of emergency personnel can be dispatched to where you are, and they can call you back if need be.

Stuck in a cubicle looking for inspiration and creativity? Move your laptop and yourself to a coffee shop. A study (in the Journal of Consumer Research) investigated the link between creativity and noise levels. The results showed that those who worked in moderately noisy environments with sound levels on par with your average bustling cafe scored higher on tests of creativity and were also rated as more innovative by other participants. The study added to research suggesting that small doses of distraction prompt the mind to work at a more abstract level, which is also a more creative level. The possibility that sound energized people was considered but rejected: participants’ heart rates did rise when they first encountered noise, but soon subsided.
