Need ideas on how to engage employees? Once a month we will provide our blog readers with comments and ideas straight from the source: employees at top companies!
How can you show your employees you care? While some may argue, the comments below all seem to point to one thing: FOOD!
Yes, food, glorious food, takes the cake this time in terms of what we found excites employees in the office. While we can’t say these findings are scientifically proven, we can say that food seems to be a common theme in what makes employees happy in our top companies.
Check out the employee comments below to hear what companies provide to boost morale and keep employees smiling! All comments come directly from our open-ended questions on our employee survey. Enjoy!
Employee Comments:
“Entire firm had a big holiday party in December, another party in April at the Hard Rock in Times Square, and a 3 hour boat cruise around Manhattan just last week. They also offer meal deliveries when you work overtime and often take out employees for lunch.”
“Employees are empowered to do what they can to make the company succeed, in return the employees are treated with respect and are provided with various outlets to allow them to enjoy coming to work including food throughout the day, semi-monthly chair massages, pot-luck lunches and various other social events.”
“Free food and snacks every day, great office space and atmosphere. Competitive but fun environment to be in. Tons of small office events involving food, treats, games, and fun activities.”
“1. This company is mostly about food and boy do we celebrate it here A LOT! Catered food, renting ice cream trucks (thrice at least in the few years I’ve been here), celebrating bdays, rewarding minor to major achievements with free meals, and more. 2. My team (aka ‘department’) hires really customer-focused, good people whose personality and work styles really fit each other–knock on wood! I work with the best, most positive team here.”
“Every Friday afternoon we have “Frack” or Friday Snack, where one employee brings in some type of delicious food for the whole company. We have an unlimited vacation policy. The company covers 80 percent of our insurance premiums. We can work from home when we feel like it. Pretty much every policy this company has in place demonstrates how highly they value their employees.”
“The kitchen is packed to the gills, there are constant improvements being made to the office, and the organization feels very flat and dynamic.”
