KEY CULTURE TAKEAWAYS FROM THE TOP 10
We can learn a lot from the companies on this list. Here are a few things they all do, according to Glassdoor.
- Curate incredible teams. Most employee reviews of the top ten companies mentioned the talent and personalities of their coworkers as a huge benefit. Remember, the people you hire shape your culture through their everyday actions.
- Create and abide by a meaningful mission. When employees have something to believe in, they feel more motivated to work and understand their purpose in the organization.
- Encourage transparency. Many of the employee reviews cited transparency from management as a huge benefit, especially because it has a trickle-down effect into daily feedback between team members.
- Make employees feel valued. Through benefits like professional development programs and employee engagement activities, the best companies make their people feel excited and empowered to do quality work.
- Provide balance between work and play. “Work-life balance” is a huge selling point for many of the top-rated companies on the list. Whether it’s with ample vacation time, paid days for employees to volunteer, or discouraging working late into the evenings, employees appreciate a culture that allows them to have a life outside of work.
