12 Indicators That
You’re Working For a Great Company
Margielyn Musser
There has been a new fad rising among companies around
the world.
It benefits the customers, the employees and the
management.
This new popular trend is catching on from company to
company and is spreading like wildfire.
What is this new trend? It is the focus on employee
happiness.
Great companies are changing the way they operate by
developing policies to create
a happy work place. The University of Warwick conducted
experiments in a recent study
that proved happy workers are 12% more productive. It is
easier to work a company
that treats you well, does yours? Here are some
indicators that you work for a great company.
1. The leadership
is honest, approachable and fair.
It is easier to follow someone that you think honestly
wants the best for you,
themselves and the company. They are there to answer any
questions that you have
and if they do not know the answer, they will find it for
you.
2. There is room
for growth.
Room for growth can be with promotions or education for
the benefit of you
and also the company. There are some companies that are
willing to give scholarships away,
as long as it is for classes in the same field of work.
Why are they doing this?
Simply because it will help your credentials,
your pay and their customers by giving them trained
professionals.
3. There is open
collaboration between everyone.
Occasional meetings to collaborate on what needs to be
addressed between you
and the rest of the office are important. Your voice is
important to management
and they are there to hear what you have to say and what
has been bothering you.
4. There is
constructive feedback.
If you work for a company that gives you monthly,
quarterly or annual reports of progress,
it is a good thing. This means that they care about
keeping you around and making sure you know what steps need to be taken in
order to go further into the company.
It is important to take this as constructive criticism and not personally.
Your
management is giving you an opportunity
to find out what needs to be done in order to move
forward with the company
and genuinely care that you make it as far as you can.
5. There is an
extensive hiring process to prevent toxic workers.
If you had to go through a couple interviews to start
working for your job,
it is more than likely they are putting a lot of effort
into the hiring process
to prevent any toxic workers coming into the office.
These are the ones that are negative and spread it quicker than a cold in
preschool.
They are the ones that call in sick all the time and make
you work doubles
because there isn’t any coverage. They are the ones that
put office politics into play
because they love the drama and most of all, they do not
have any passion
to do a job well. Companies that focus on employee
happiness will make sure that you
are working with passionate and hard working
people just like yourself.
6. There is a
small company feel.
If you interact with your upper management with more than
just
the occasional policy change email, it’s definitely a good thing.
Companies that have their CEO or general manager do little things
like friendly competitions with a bonus for a prize or a
friendly dinner to touch base
with a group of employees shows that they really care
about how their employees are feeling.
7. There is a
large focus on morale between employees,
management and their families.
It is a good thing if you find yourself at an occasional
family day or event that includes your work
and home life. That means they really want to know who
you are as a person, not just an employee. It boosts moral and gives a sense of
community in and outside of the office.
8. The atmosphere
is fun and rewarding.
It is a great feeling to be appreciated and rewarded
occasionally for a job well done.
Some companies are starting to do raffles for TV’s,
vacations and gift cards
to boost employee happiness and activities. If you have
been given a pat on the back,
words of appreciation or even have won a TV, it means you
are working for a great company.
9. There is a
diverse environment.
A diverse environment means that your company hires based
on who will best match the goals
of the company and boost the morale of the team.
This is regardless of their race, age, sex, experience
and occasionally education.
10. The pay is
fair for the job that is asked.
Nobody likes being paid very little for a lot of effort.
A company that makes sure their wages
are fair and puts the occasional bonus
out there cares about their employees and their welfare.
11. There are
clear expectations set and instructions
on how to meet those expectations.
It is very simple to stick to expectations and follow
instructions. When you are given a clear goal
and the steps you need to take to get there, that means
your job isn’t just throwing numbers,
tasks or meetings at you just to keep you busy. They
really do want to see you succeed
and will work with you every step of the way to make sure
that happens.
12. There are
occasional breaks in the work-day.
Though it doesn’t seem logical to take more breaks to be
more productive,
some companies believe that it does. If you have more than
that one lunch break,
it means they care about more than just your nutrition needs.
They care about your
productivity, stress levels and efficiency.
Everyone needs that occasional
coffee break,
or just that fifteen minutes to talk a walk after a bad
moment.
In conclusion, if you find that you are working at one of
these companies,
consider yourself lucky. They are there for the welfare
of everyone in the organization
and care about your happiness specifically.
Some don’t have it so luckily, but who knows, maybe that
will change in a few years.
