Amazing WorkplaceSuppose you want to design the best company to work for.
What would it be like?After researching various parameters we came to the conclusion that underlying the differences of circumstance, industry, and individual ambition, an organization that operates at its fullest potential by allowing people to do their best work has six common imperatives.These parameters help you create an “Amazing Workplace.” In a nutshell, it’s a company where individual differences are nurtured; information is not suppressed or spun; the company adds value to employees, rather than merely extracting it from them; the organization stands for something meaningful; the work itself is intrinsically rewarding, and there are no illogical rules.Features of an Amazing WorkplaceLET PEOPLE BE THEMSELVESThe ideal organization is aware of dominant currents in its culture, work habits, dress code, traditions, and governing assumptions but, makes explicit efforts to transcend them.
We are talking not just about the buttoned-down financial services company that embraces the IT guys in shorts and sandals, but also the hipster organization that doesn’t look surprised when someone wears a suit.
Or the place where nearly everyone comes in at odd hours but that accommodates the one or two people who prefer a 9-to-5 schedule.UNLEASH THE FLOW OF INFORMATIONThe organization of your dreams recognizes that in the age of Facebook, WikiLeaks, and Twitter, you’re better off telling people the truth before someone else does.
It respects its employees’ need to know what’s really going on so that they can do their jobs, particularly in volatile environments.
Radical honesty is not easy to implement.
