The Important Thing of Being a Great Company
Great companies have great talents
It sounds simple, but this may be the hardest part. This is an area of constant movement and change, which requires daily attention. So, how do great companies work with their employees to achieve excellence?
1. Give employees opportunities for learning and professional growth.
In great companies, managers will find ways to match the skills and enthusiasm of employees with the needs of the organization. They do this by interacting frequently with direct reports. They notice what employees are good at. They find that employees are interested in learning or accomplishing things, and promote career development by enhancing their strengths.
2 Make a policy to ensure that employees work with people they respect.
Great companies don’t hire people who are dishonest, stingy, or lazy. Great companies hire employees for cultural adaptation. Skills can be taught, but integration into the company culture is not. Great companies will methodically hire people with the right skills, values, and ethics. Research shows that when employees like and respect colleagues, they will not only work harder and get more fun from their efforts, but also stay longer in the company.
3.Create a culture of trust.
Employees of large companies trust the people they work for, and they believe they will be treated fairly, respectfully, and honestly. Trust is a powerful tool for retaining employees, and great companies respect this. Although employees may not always agree with the decisions made by their leaders, they believe that these decisions are ethical, legal and ultimately best for them and the company’s success.
4 Provide opportunities for employees to grow.
Great companies allow their employees to make mistakes, figure things out, and solve problems without destroying their spirit and motivation. Great companies reward and celebrate success while encouraging employees to expand their skills and capabilities. Great companies know that challenging work is a motivational tool.
