This article covers a survey done by Statista.com where they surveyed more than 20,000 employees throughout the country to find which ones had the best employee satisfcation. They did this by asking questions such as whether they would recommend their employer to a friend or not. The top choice was Google, and when talking about it with their HR chief, Laszlo Block, he said it was because google is in “global competition for the best, most creative minds who are able to create the biggest, most important things [...] That’s why it becomes even more important to create a kind of workplace where those people want to be.” Other companies ranked highly such as LL Bean said that their dedicated workforce of 5,300 is one of their most important tools.
I think an interesting connection between both LL Bean and Google’s mindset is that having good and happy employees leads to a successful company. More companies should realise the strength of having a workforce that doesn’t see their job as just a job, but instead have their employees like the company and want to work for and help it. This is very similar to how Starbucks allows their employees to have health benefits and be able to invest in the company’s stock even without being high ranking employees.
