"Anything you offer as a perk, whether it's a gym membership or a paperless work environment or additional days for maternity leave or a go-green policy, all of these things are going to help you," said David Gantshar, chief executive of California-based Shepherd Search Group. Intel's box-shaped, 10-story building is covered in glass and will accommodate up to 2,700 of its local 13,000 workforce. The company declined to comment on how much it spent on the development center. Israeli media reported a cost of 650 million shekels ($188 million). David Hareli, deputy CEO of Afcon Holdings, which constructed the building, said it was a challenge to finish the project within Intel's three-year timetable. Originally designed to be seven stories high, Intel asked to add three floors. Advertisement
