Choose Wisely
On December 09, 2009 in Thought for the Day
Great companies are still hiring. Great companies are committed to having the best teams and use today’s surplus of unemployed talent to augment and modify their teams to create ones that are more focused, talented and results-focused. And when the recession recedes, these companies will be well ahead of all others.
Great companies are progressive, smart and really understand their environments. They care about employees to help each make an impact, feel confident and see a career path. They know their people are their profits, and as such, their employees influence customer loyalty and drive organizational success.
Great companies:
• Hire the best people for the job and hire for talent.
• Hold employees accountable for results and performance.
• Reward and recognize employees who do great things.
• Openly share information and communicate performance expectations.
• Provide recurring feedback, education and regular development to help all employees constantly improve.
• Are ethical, responsible and environmentally aware.
You may have a job today. But based on a recent study and word on the street, I know many employees are upset with their current employers and intend to leave when the economy improves. So whether you are looking for work now, or have it in the back of your head that you may be looking soon, you must be able to assess which companies are great companies to work for – and which you should avoid.
You have a choice – they have a choice. If a career change is in your plans, choose your employer wisely. Find the employer of choice – they will be the ones who will allow your greatest impact in the workplace.
