Shannon Barlow: Frog Recruitment managing director on businesses cutting workplace perks ahead of looming recession

Free coffee and snacks at work may soon be a thing of the past, as businesses look to cut costs ahead of the looming recession. A Frog Recruitment survey of more than 500 workers found for a quarter, employee benefits like complimentary coffees and gym memberships were scrapped in the past six months. Frog Recruitment managing director Shannon Barlow says companies are cutting smaller perks, and some have scrapped larger well-being benefits and programs. "It's that weird situation where businesses are obviously starting to feel the pressure and perhaps thinking- right, we've got to cut some costs and look at what we can save and what's in our control."
