This week we’ll be looking at the human resource practice of three Fortune 100 Best Companies To Work For.
The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated, has been ranked one of the best companies to work for six years running. While the restaurant industry experiences a high rate of employee turn over, Cheesecake Factory is a rare outlier that is able to retain employees. “The major factor driving the high turnover rate in most restaurants starts with “not having training and bad supervision,” David Scott Peters” (Rachel). Cheesecake Factory has accomplished the perfect balance of training staff so they feel competent in their role and enough supervision to bread a high quality environment. The company has used data from other companies to refine this median so they do not become a high turnover restaurant like most of the industry.
Adobe Systems Incorporated, uses the catch phrase “Adobe for All”. This phase is meant to empower employees at every level of the company to make an impact. To keep the company at the top end of best places to work, Adobe is a leader in fair wages and payment practices. They also have a large focus in supporting employees well being not matter what role they have. These work life incentives cause Adobe to be a leader in best places to work.
Scripps Health, is the rare chase of a health company that is ranked on best places to work. Normally, the health industry suffers from a high stress environment. Scripps say “One key has been the Scripps Leadership Academy, a yearlong training program for middle managers”. It’s clear that creating an environment where a manger can feel confident in their position will cause the rest of the company to be a better place to work. If a manger does not feel confident their employees will not feel confident in their role either.
