    From '95 to '05 I worked for a great company which was doing everything right. People rotated or were promoted frequently. In 10 years I had 13 different bosses and it was because of the churn of work and people rotating to different roles. When they offered us a voluntary severance, I decided to take it because my offer was 53 weeks of severance. Just a very classy thing to acknowledge my job title and time spent in the job. As I said, it was voluntary, they were looking to reduce head count. Lucky I did take the package as company was bought out by Bank of America by the end of 2005. Some of the best people and best environment I ever worked. BoA turned it into a misable place and didn't do proper upkeep with the buildings.

    I would add, The person in charge is actually doing the work. There is nothing worse then a leader that just shouts orders and policies and doesn't do any work. Be it big business or a really small one. CEOs get paid good money, they should actually put in a work for it. I work in small hospitality business. Our owner often fills the role of a handyman. People who aren't afraid of work are the ones you want to work for. These are the ones that won't ask you to do things they wouldn't do themselves.

    I agree, but I'd like to add a little more to that. When the boss is doing the work (not just one aspect of the work, but when they regularly do the work) they have a far greater handle on the pulse of the company, of what problems their employees face, and a direct, first person understanding of what can be changed to benefit everyone involved. That is invaluable, and it's a shame, in my opinion, that more employers don't seem to realize it or care.

    I would say leaders that are willing to do the work. But a even a great leader doesn't always know how to do every job of their direct reports. A good leader is capable of becoming a temporary follower on order to help get the work done. Caveat: this is illegal in a union shop. So this only counts if there are no unions available.

    I work at a great company. Been voted a "Best Place to Work" for many years in many publications. Leadership is so conscious of the impact to employees and encourage employees to get involved in our employee resource groups, even giving us paid time off to participate in those activities. They also give us one full day off to volunteer. Plus about 20 PTO days and all the major holidays off. They do everything they can to avoid layoffs and they are very rare (only seen one in the past 15 years). All senior leaders have an open door policy. I'll likely be here for life!

    Honest & Transparent Management - boy, I've got tons of experience at a few companies that were NOT this!! Eventually they start to wear on you, especially when they start blaming the staff for what is really poor management decisions. On a related note I'd add Management Structure. If an organization has too many layers of management it'll get to be slow, unresponsive, and usually distant from the employees closer to the bottom of the org chart; information distribution is done like a game of 'Telephone' . They give very little decision-making authority to the front line staff, but they blame them for the company's problems and failings.

They even held the severance packages as ransom to ensure a graceful transition to the replacements.

    There are pros/cons to each approach - ideally, a company should have both promotions from within and bringing in new ideas. If the company culture is positive, then bringing in outsiders could actually harm that. For example, one of my former employers was very reluctant to layoff people, but they hired some executives from the finance industry and one of the first things those guys did was layoff a bunch of folks and made them train their offshore replacements (or no severance). Classic cut-throat finance world move.

    Before my company was acquired and integrated into a huge staffing firm, it was a great employer: 1. Often seeing internal promotions 2. Competitive pay - certainly above average outside the FAANG bubble (actually hard to find a replacement job b/c of so many pay laggards) 3. Remote-first - even had watercooler meetings to allow for socialization and blowing off steam (Friday at 4:30pm - "Beer30") 4. Excellent benefits - fully paid health insurance premiums - even for a decent HMO family plan 6. Learning and Development personal budget of $3K per year. 7. Personal wellness budget of $500 per year 8. They added benefits while I was working for them - career coaching, personal finance advisor, etc. Since I know what good looks like - it's really hard to find a quick replacement. Unfortunately, that part of my former company is gone - swallowed by big enterprise consulting. At least my salary wasn't "harmonized" with the rest of the company - but that probably means I have a target on my back. LOL

    All these sound great. And none my current employer has! Praying for a move to help balance time with family more! We also have low vacation time(but do allow no pay days). I take many each year for when my kids are sick or have to be home. They upped the incoming vacation from 1 week to 2 a couple years back. And pissed off folks that had been there 3 yrs that had 2 weeks too. They didn't offer an extra paid day off or anything to compensate those that were caught at that odd time. They think they are God's gift to their town. But can't keep folks(nationwide problem) but don't do anything to help morale. It is bad and covid sure hasn't helped! No one cares about their employees in their dept. The company even gives people money to appreciate their dept employees(less than $20 per person/ yr). But many use it at the end of the year as an after thought. They promote managers but never teach them or have them trained to be managers.

    After working for a disastrous weak employer for 6 months, I decided to go job shopping for a good job with an intelligent employer. I found my dream job, and when this business changed ownership, I found another dream job. These 2 jobs were well organized, they won top awards, and the leaders were real winners. We had job perks instead of raises but our wages were still higher than most places. My experience takeaway is, when a person looks for a good job, always look in places with a low staff turnover. High turn over is a rag flag for sure!

    Interesting and very on point. In my company, I think that we are somewhere in between. There are some of the points that are there, such excellent benefits, 24 days PTO from the get-go, professional development through universities, continuing education or in-house courses (also LinkedIn learning), they have a department for workplace culture and inclusion. However, there is in fact high turnover because there isn't any transparency, and there are quite a few personalities in management that are all about them being pleased, even if their requests don't make any sense. There's very little satisfaction in the work we do because we do it to please those people, not to be able to practice our profession. Also, there's a lot of political drama with the senior leadership, and it cascades down to the organizational culture. So, in my experience, great benefits and pay are good, but transparency and a sense of security are also important.

    Good advice! A few comments - Companies also do not always tell the truth on interviews. Also, there are ways they use to trim their workforce without publishing this. So, I suggest checking out employee histories on LinkedIn. Watch out from short tenures and people exiting in July or December ish. Better still, see if you can connect with a former employee to find out what it is like to work for the company.

    Good video and information. However There will be very few unicorn companies will meet all these qualities. If it hits 50%, a good company. Usually big corporations pay low because they have name and brand recognition so they attract and use many colleague graduates to make them a big part of work force. They usually have very good procedures and training to compensate the young work force lack of experiences. These type of companies need to be managed more tightly as the work force lack of experiences. They are usually very tight managed and rigid to personal ideas or improvement. Usually some companies gave you a good salary and compensation above the market usually is not the one who host birthday party for you. Lots of company play the game of giving you lots of small benefits including small gift cards, team building events after work, training or traveling but usually low pay in general. You have to select based on your experiences level and priorities to decide which one fits your current needs.

Aim for under 20% turnover. - they are a pay leader not lagger. - consistently high ratings - they are a pay leader AND expand on their benifits package. ( Bad employees will cut corners and benifits) - they value personal training and invest in your personal development. - they recognise ppl for their accomplishments and milestones - they hire enough people to ensure work life balance and reasonable workload. - leadership is trustworthy, transparent - high morale

    Hmm, my workplace actually hits a lot of these. Vacation benefits are generally good, they tend to respect peoples’ time outside of their schedules. Our leadership really tries to communicate what they’re doing and planning. Recognizing personal milestones, regular celebration of years of service with some huge associate appreciation events with bonuses, prizes, activities. “Winter wonderland” winter celebration for associates and families, with all kinds of activities for the kids and still nice little gestures of appreciation for associates. Even things like daily free lunch specials at the associate restaurant. Also, an associate restaurant. It’s a casino in Minnesota, and I’m pretty happy with them. They offer classes, meetings, and all kinds of opportunities for personal growth. Lots of our upper management even started here at entry level positions, and were put through college by the company.

    The videos you've expressed provide good advice. Yet, I've got a couple of brief comments... 1) There are NO perfect company matches, large or small. Bear that strictly in mind. 2) Moreover, company loyalties and politics change over time, based on both economy, technology, growth (or the opposite), and inevitable management changes. Now that I'm retired, I can say more openly that it's one's own responsibility to manage career (and I've had several, after both layoffs and personal choices). Taking charge of our own career is worth every penny, and I can say I have pride in my employment choices and intact personal "self" across many organizations.
