What makes companies as great place to work?

May 21, 2008

We always see articles, surveys and reports from various market research companies about the great places to work, rating, ranking etc.

Is really? the following mentioned common points take them to top position:

  1. Flexi Timing
  2. Training
  3. Individual Career Growth
  4. Corporate Social Responsibility

 

What I personally feel is all the above mentioned are secondary items when money comes. For example “Say an employee of the top rated company has been offered more than 50% salary hike by some non rated company i.e. workplace, how many of you would like say that his/her chances are below 25% to move to new place? In other words I would say his/her chances of moving to non rated company is more than 80%.”

I feel that as far as employee is happy with the employer, he/she will say my workplace is the best place to work whether its a MNC or startup. So at the end what matters is employee frame of mind at the time of survey.

I would be happy, if you can share your thoughts on the same.
