Characteristics of A Great Workplace - 3

These are my thoughts that is my ideal work place -

Employee Focus -
Customers are important, but remember what good are customers when there are no employees? "Customer delight" is vogue what about "Happy Employees" ?

Motivation -
The ability of the company to provide motivation. Money means a lot, but believeing in what you do is more important !

Vision -
A consistent and stable motto of the company. Keeping in tune with the times is important, but changing the vision/mission statement is a definite no-no.

Lead by Example -
Set an example that your employees can follow. Double standards are best left at the door.

Harassment
As long as this exists only and not beyond the anti-harassment policy its fine...

Pride
Does the work force sneak out of the door to avoid being seen ? A sense of belonging is what is needed....

Training
Enough is asked and evaluated of the employee.... What is the value add of the employer ?

Load Balancing
Some are frustrated because they are over-loaded others are because they have no work....

Walking the Talk & more...
Do open door policies end outside the door? Does the 360 degree system exist beyond the air conditioning system?

Great Workforce
Creating a place where great minds gather is not cheap !

Professionalism
Its good to take work personally. Vindictive personalities are best shown the door.

Work Culture
Walking the talk is important. But ensuring that the talk is good is a greater responsibility.

Once a wise man told me - If he works....

Once a wise man told me - "If he works give him more work.. otherwise just pay him his salary."

Welcome to the MATRIX.

The wonderful world of make believe where we think we know everything...
