L'Oréal is offering workers a $5-an-hour concierge service to push workers to head back into their newly revamped office.

The company seeks to fill the office with workers three times a week as they bribe them with the promise to have their chores completed - including picking up their pets, refueling their cars, and retrieving dry cleaning.

L'Oréal recently switched up their California headquarters in El Segundo with a coffee bar, dining area, and fitness center. Now, the company is offering incentives to bribe workers back into the office.

'We're in an industry that's very much people-driven,' CEO David Greenberg told the news outlet. '[There is] necessary engagement, creativity, sharing, and learning from each other.'

The $5 concierge service also extends to the company's restaurant in their building. Beauty products are also sold at a discount at a small store located in the building.

L'Oréal didn't immediately comment to DailyMail.com about whether their New York office will follow the same model.

The company opened its remodeled El Segundo headquarters in August. 

Architect company Gensler created the 25-acre campus with the goal of creating a more comfortable environment for employees.

To make work days less daunting and structured, the building includes multiple new seating arrangements throughout the building to allow teams to host breakout sessions, or for workers to change up their scenery. 

'We are really talking about treating the office as a destination, not an obligation,' Gensler architect expert Elizabeth Brink said.  

Workers can choose where they want to work, either in or outdoors. If they wish, employees can bring their dogs. 

'We put a high degree of importance on our culture,' CEO Greenberg said. 'We believe it's why 110 years later, we're still leaders in the industry. And culture comes from people. it's part of the recipe.'  

Workers can choose the three days they work from the office.

While L'Oréal has recently revealed their new $5-an-hour concierge service, some companies have peeled back. 

Investment bank Goldman Sachs scrapped COVID perks for New York City-based employees back in April - including free cars to and from work and free lunches.

The policy change by CEO David Solomon was implemented amid the pandemic and crime surge in the city. At the time, Solomon bribed workers to come work in person.

Goldman Sachs is widely regarded as one of the best-paying investment banks in the world, with New York-based staff earning an average of $190,000 a year in return for ferocious 16-hour days. 

While the company removed some of its incentives, Goldman Sachs also increased its meal stipend to $30 from $25 in April — just two months after facing pressure from staff claiming they couldn't even buy a Chipotle dinner with the allowance due to rising delivery costs and taxes.

Meanwhile, nearly 1,300 workers at the New York Times pledged in September to never return to the office and instead work from home, according to the New York Post. 

The employees have stated they will not return to the newsroom after the New York Times expected workers to be in the office for a minimum of three days starting earlier this year. 

Employees refused as those who are being represented by the union News Guild of New York, called for the management to increase their wages. 

'People are livid,' Tom Coffey, who has been an editor at the New York Times for 25 years, told the newspaper at the time.

Coffey said that the decision by management to force employees back into the office during a period of high inflation means that the workers are having to spend more money on gas, lunches and clothing. And at the same time, the employees are not being given a raise to cope with these rising costs.

More employees called out the news publication that was giving employees 'branded lunch boxes' as a 'return-to-office perk.'

A New York Times spokesperson said at the time that there was not a set number of days that employees are expected to work in the office per week.

But they added: 'We continue to believe that a hybrid work environment best suits the New York Times at this moment.'
