What Attracts Great Employees?

176598482To be a great company one must have great employees. So what seems to be the common denominator in attracting really great people? Consider recognized leaders such as Google (now Alphabet) and Genentech (acquired by Roche). Both companies were rated in the top dozen places to work by Fortune. Both of these organizations are in the tech sector — information and biotech, respectively.

Certainly one does not have to be in high tech to be listed in the Fortune 100 group. Nevertheless, being in a leading-edge industry such as high tech helps to attract the best and brightest, as these sectors offer high salaries and great advancement opportunities due to their inherent growth rates.

Other companies in the top dozen are Acuity Insurance, Wegmans Food Market, The Boston Consulting Group, Quicken Loan, Robert W Baird & Co., Kimberly-Horn, SAS Institute, Camden Property Trust, Edward Jones and W. L. Gore & Associates. The turnover in most of these companies is generally quite low and though these companies did generally well in terms of innovation, sales and profits, the be-all and end-all was not growth and profit at any cost. There was a sense of perspective in balancing company performance with employee motivation, retention and well-being.
