It's not cheaper. However, employee compensation is a contractual obligation. Benefits and perks can be unilaterally revoked by employer at any point.

So are the bonuses. Have extra money to spend - give it to me. Do not throw party in remote location which I am not looking forward do attend. Of course it is you money and you are free to spend those however you like. But this way of team building does not work for every person. I have no lack of friends but I do not remember acquiring those in on company outings. Not denying it might work for other people though.
