Through my readings it was clear to me that people are most happy and feel the most valued through actions the company makes to provide additional support to their workers. Diversity, inclusion and benefits are the words used most commonly when describing their positive feedback for their companies. Hosting company-wide events and being focused on the employee are other things that stood out to me promoting the employees and their opinions on a company. For instance all of the top ten companies on the 2020 fortune best companies to work for, they all have a people first culture. This not only benefits the employees of the company but also their effectiveness when working. If I were to be a Human Resources Manager, I would take a wholistic approach. Treating each member of the company as a crucial part of the system and rewarding them for their efforts. A couple of the topics I would use to reward my employees would be paid sick time, vacation time, employee stock ownership program, paid holidays, and company parties to promote team building and working well together. This not only improves their wages and benefits but provides them with more opportunities to grow outside of work and come back feeling and working better than when they left. I would also opt to promote work life balance by implementing flexible working hours where as long as an employee hits 40 hours a week they are able to work whenever, of course that needs to include a 30 minute unpaid lunch. Overall, I see companies that are successful implement programs that support work life balance and increase compensation through benefits.
