When companies are successful, many people like at the different possibilities for such success. One thing many people don’t really think about is having good employees working for your company. However, to have good employees you need to treat those employees in a way that they are going to want to stay with your company and commit to your company’s mission and goals.
The first company that I took a look at from the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work for 2020, was Wegmans Food Market Inc. It shows that 91% of employees that work for Wegmans say that it is a great place to work. This is supported by their employees stating words such as “care,” “benefits,” and “balance.” Finally, 96% of the employees that work for Wegmans say that “when you join the company, you are made to feel welcome.”
Bank of America ranking at 77th on the list wasn’t the highest ranked company to observe. I wanted to get a company that was lower on this list to show the difference from one spectrum to the other. However, being ranked 77th, 85% of Bank of America employees say that it is a great place to work. “Benefits” was the biggest used word in the Trust Index Survey and following that was “time” and “people.” While this is not the highest on the list of Top 100 companies to work for, Bank of America is still a good company to be a part of.
As a manager I want to be at a level where when employees talk about me to either new hires or if they move to a different company that they say, “the best boss I ever had.” According to an article from Harvard Business Review, “by taking the time to understand what makes every employee tick, a great manager shows that he sees his people for who they are.” I want to reciprocate this when my management style and make sure that my employees know that I will be there for them and understand who they are so I can better help them if a conflict arises, making it easier to be resolved. This is also a challenge that I could see happening if you have a lot of employees under you and managing them all.
