What makes companies as great place to work?

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.

Its truly said by some one “One graphical presentation is equivalent to 1000 words“.

You must have noticed, if somebody has explained you any concept with the help of pictures you will remember it for longer time & even understood it easily.

Today, all the corporate’s want to have some supporting pictures in their presentations.  But the fact is not all the corporate’s are good in drawings so that they can prepare the exact picture how they want. I am also involved in preparing the presentations for my company where I need to include various images. You can find various images on Internet but their is a restriction for the usage for particular images. Here I am trying to provide some links where you can find Royalty Free Images which one can use any where any time.

Offline Blog Editor

Some time back I came to know about Windows Live Writer – the offline editor for blogging. This is too good tool. We can write the posts offline any time and most important is the user interface which is very good. Normally its very difficult for me to do formatting of posts in WordPress and Blogger editors.

I would suggest all the blogger’s to use this tool from Microsoft. While writing this post using Live Writer I am feeling like using the MS Word.

Incase you know any other such tools, please share with me.

80:20?

What is this 80:20 ?

Almost all working in corporate world must have heard about this. but still today no body is serious about this and day by day this ratio is increasing.

80:20 means it is a ratio of non working employee vs working employee. In almost all the offices in world only 20% of employee do work and 80% enjoys. Today with the new work culture, I feel this ratio is increasing as most of the employees don’t want to work. They just want big money for small work.

I seen many such cases and they are so lucky that even they get the places like this.
