The Blueprint of a Great Place to Work®️

Lamees El Zeghaty

Providing stability, greater pay and flexibility became the standard practice leading organizations to think of what else they can bring to the table.

Dispersed Work Environment:

The COVID pandemic has paved the way for different work models. On one hand, employees have been leaning towards working remotely after getting a glimpse of its perks during the pandemic. On the other hand, some employees are in favor of the dispersed work environment than fully working from home as they tend to feel isolated while spending their workdays at home. Furthermore, some companies are calling for a return to the workplace while others have become fond of the idea of working from home. Companies and leaders have entrusted their employees to work from home and deliver what is required. Working from home has also introduced a more flexible work environment that can be adjusted to meet the needs of employees.

Cultural Diversity in the Workplace:

Companies are taking measures in creating a culturally diverse work environment. The long-term goal of the companies is for employees to feel that the central office aims to bring people from different cultures together.

There is a misconception that in order for a company to have great culture, they need to have massive resources. Our Best Workplaces lists defy this misconception as the lists consist of companies that fall under three categories; Small, Medium and Large. Great culture happens as a result of how a company does something not of how big or small the company is.

Purpose-driven Workplace:

There is a common belief that the foundation of a great place to work at is employees believing that their work has purpose. A sense of belonging is the key driver to the success of any organization. An employee who is driven by purpose will feel a connection to the organization’s mission and work.

When companies provide their employees with a purpose-driven work experience, employees in-turn are empowered to play a key goal in achieving the organization’s goals.

When employees align their goals with the company’s, their determination and resiliency also increase.

Employees tend to resonate with a company’s mission if their job is connected to it. Companies are exerting effort in creating jobs that contribute directly to the company’s mission; giving employees a sense of purpose. Another way to implement purposeful work is to provide learning opportunities to employees. When employees learn and enhance their skills while doing their job, this showcases the perks that their job provides them with. Making work purposeful results in higher levels of employee productivity and loyalty.
