You have heard it before but I will say it again. Happy employees are productive employees. If you were looking for a job would you apply to your company? For most of us we probably don't think about that too much. Today's employees wants to work at a company that cares, trusts, appreciates, and values its workers and acknowledges hard work. Employees want to see ethical and respected leaders who are visible and accessible. Companies that are recognized as an employer of choice exhibit not only high levels of employee attraction, but also higher employee productivity, greater workforce stability, stronger levels of employee satisfaction and loyalty.
According to Roger Herman and Joyce Gioia, co-authors of How to become an Employer of choice, there are eight principals to consider.
Company image
Organization culture
Respected leadership
Caring of people
Growth and opportunity
Meaningful work
Compensation and benefits
Making a difference
We often think that employees are just looking to make the most money, but that is only one factor of having a good job.
