Do you work for an exceptional company? You may think so, but like many workers, you may be shocked to learn other companies offer a much better employee experience. This knowledge can actually be helpful, and if you think another company can help your career reach new heights, you certainly have a right to seek them out. However, if you know the company you work for is truly great, you will notice the following signs each day in the workplace.
The Importance of Employee Experience
Does your company offer an excellent employee experience? In short, does your company make sure its employees actually want to show up for work? This may sound like a crazy question, especially in a society where it is naturally assumed employees want to work. However, this is not always the case, and if you and your co-workers are accumulating high numbers of “sick” days, you may want to look for employment elsewhere. Great companies care about how their employees feel and make sure they actually want to be there.
The Company Invests in Its Employees
No one wants to be stuck in the same position forever. Great companies are aware of this fact, and they go to great lengths to reward hardworking individuals with advancement and training opportunities. These companies know their employees are the backbone of their success, and by investing in their workers, they invest in their company. Companies that are not so great do the opposite. They treat their employees like expendable numbers and expect them to stay in the same “box” forever.
Employees Can Talk to Supervisors
Do you feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics with your managers or supervisors? If you don’t, your company may be discouraging strong professional bonds. Great companies encourage their workers to come to them with any problem the may have, and in modern times, many of the most successful companies have adopted an “open-door” policy. On the other hand, bad companies discourage this type of behavior and use intimidation to keep employees in line.
