New lists come out each year featuring the top companies to work for based on a variety of factors such as benefits, employee satisfaction, advancement opportunities, company culture, and work-life balance. Google, Salesforce, Microsoft, Apple, and many other well-known companies (through LinkedIn data) consistently rank highly on these Best Places to Work lists. Many of these companies hire independent licensed massage therapists to offer mobile chair massages to their employees.
What do these companies have in common? They all offer corporate wellness programs to create a strong community supporting health and well-being to further the employees’ desires to achieve their workplace project goals. Let’s take a further look at the common thread and why so many seek employment at these great companies.
- At Google, “the company obsesses about employee happiness, rigorously studying how to build the perfect team.”
- “Salesforce took design advice from an unlikely source: Buddhist monks. They were visiting CEO Marc Benioff (above) and suggested that he add quiet areas to his workplace. So Salesforce listened, installing “mindfulness zones” and meditation spaces on every floor of its new tower. The cloud software provider is serious about wellness: “Employees can’t guide customers to success if they aren’t first taking care of themselves,”
- ” Microsoft continues to be a magnet for job-seeking techies. On its Redmond, Wash. campus, the company offers restaurants, cafes, espresso stands (37 to be exact), retail shops, and a sports field.”
- Airbnb is sought out “because of its culture, which fosters a “sense of belonging,” the company told LinkedIn. Offices are decked out with the sort of homey details any Airbnb guest would appreciate: lounge areas with oriental rugs, meeting rooms designed after popular rentals, and lots of house-made The company pushes employees to never stop “being crazy” and tries to inspire a sense of adventure by offering travel vouchers to experience Airbnb properties.”
