A new list came out listing the top companies to work for and there was no surprise that Google, Salesforce, Facebook, Apple, and many other well-known companies (through LinkedIn data) made this exclusive list of the top twenty companies. Many 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.”
- “Workday now has 5,600 employees and still boasts a customer satisfaction rate of 98 percent. Employees enjoy unlimited time off, “family fun events” and support to serve the community; in 2015, Workday introduced a “Volunteer of the Year Award.”
