The Three Secret Signs Of A Great Employer
During the recession of the late 2000s, employers held all the power. Job seekers struggled to find opportunities in a market with too many applicants and not enough work.
Today, however, potential employees enjoy more power than they have since the 1990s. According to recent research from Willis Towers Watson, more than half of companies around the world are struggling to retain their best employees. Companies in every industry are searching high and low for the right candidates, pulling out all the stops to attract and keep top talent.
Now that employees have the upper hand, the top performers have the luxury of choice when they want to make a move — but they’ve learned that many companies aren’t what they appear to be. Some promise great benefits and then chastise employees who try to use those perks. Others boast high salaries and then insist that “team player” means working nights and weekends. With so much muck to sift through, how can job seekers find employers who truly value their skills and treat them with respect?
Just as companies scrutinize résumés and online profiles, employees should carefully evaluate potential employers before committing to a position and a salary. By focusing on three characteristics of great companies to work for, applicants can weed out the pretenders and find the right fit.
