agréments socials/ prestations


Explanation:
Many companies are wooed in this way. This is a very general term. Can range from day at the golf course to a membership in the country club to a massage in Thailand. These are NOT work-related things.



A modern company must provide its staff wth the best possible working is no exception. It offers excellent social amenities, such as restaurant facilities, recreation room for social gathering and a medical centre.

Residential areas are planned to be within short distances from social and
public amenities. The concept of neighborhood center is a good example.

abonnement à des activités récréatives


Explanation:
Il faudrait sans doute trouver une traduction moins lourde, mais, dans le contexte, on doit comprendre que les employés peuvent accepter un abonnement à un centre sportif, de massage, d'exercices physiques, etc. Il ne s'agit surtout pas d'avantages sociaux, une affaire entre employeurs et employés et non entre employés et clients. Voir Collins à amenity; voir GDT à avantages sociaux.
