When employees of Turner Broadcasting System mark 20 years of service, they are gifted with two extra paid weeks off; after 30 years, they get an extra month off.

Laughter yoga classes, improv comedy shows and free massages were all part of this media company’s recent Laugh It Off campaign, which featured on-site events to help workers fight stress. To further promote wellness, the company formalized its flexible scheduling guidelines in 2011, publicizing available options through a series of panels with employees and managers, held in Atlanta and New York City. It only takes 24 hours of work per week to earn health insurance, and specific plans offer up to $25,000 in fertility treatments, or provide a maternity support program; employees who adopt or use a surrogate may tap up to $10,000 to cover costs. The Turner Parents Network stages informative sessions on adoption, autism, foster parenting, summer camp and social media, all of which save its members time.
