Company Employee Satisfaction

Company Satisfaction Ratings

The first company I chose to look at was Nvidia. They have a 95% employee satisfaction rating due to the fact that their employees loved the amount of collaboration, closeness and transparency between upper level management and the employees. One thing that I found interesting is most of them expressed that if this company were to lay off anyone, they would know that it’s because it was a last resort for the company. This shows the amount of trust they have and that Nvidia doesn’t see them just as costs but added value for the company.

The second company I decided to look into was the Zillow Group who has an employee satisfaction rating of 92%. They offer great employee benefits which goes to show how they take care of their employees and the trust that they have built. During my research I found that most of their employees have been there for less than 2 years or from 2-5 years. This demographic is something that HR takes into consideration when creating and implementing their processes and policies.

The last company I decided to look into was the Target Corporation who has an employee satisfaction score of 74%. Since it is one of the largest U.S. retail companies, it makes sense why the score is smaller than the other two companies. They have a lot more employees and people to manage. Most employees said that Target gives them the resources to help set them up for success in their job. They also prioritize community involvement which helps foster a positive organizational culture.

Type of Manager I Want to Be

I would like to be the type of manager that always has their door open for employees. I believe that fostering a good professional relationship for every employee will help boost organizational culture and help mitigate any problems that may arise. I would also like to be a type of manager that puts their employees first because I believe that is extremely important when increasing their motivation and quality of work. They should be on the floor working with their employees rather than sitting at their desk with an invisible barrier between them.

Challenges for Managers

I think the most difficult part about being a manager is balancing productivity and employee’s wellbeing. Managers are expected to get each employee performing at their highest level. But this can also easily cause burn out and decrease the quality of their work. Trying to balance the two is difficult for managers especially since each employee is different when it comes to motivation and what works best for them.
