There is nothing better than working in a good company, that will
not only give you a chance to grow but help you attain career
fulfillment.
There are some signs to look out for when searching for such a good
company. This list isn’t exhaustive but contained here are some of
those signs. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 of
them.
Calm and Productive Atmosphere
It’s easier to be productive and get work done in the workplace
environment, when the atmosphere is calm and productive, and there are
virtually no visible signs of fear, domination, harassment or
intimidation. In a good workplace, the right of every employee is
respected and there is space and a conducive environment to work as
efficiently as you can, with all the resources you need adequately
provided.
There is Flexibility
There is flexibility, when the company is ready to accept change
and work towards positive changes. The management understands that
‘change is the only constant thing’, and works with that to improve
their practices and keep the organization relevant. The company has
programmes to help accommodate new trends and technology, and also
promote the incorporation of new skills. Employees constantly have
opportunities to learn, improve on their existing skills and better
themselves.
There is Positive Reinforcement
The company understands the place of corporate gestures of
acknowledgment, appreciation and gratitude in motivating employees. They
offer genuine compliments, rewards, bonuses, raises, promotions and
certificates of achievement to help employees feel appreciated and
continue to be motivated to keep up the good work.
Importance is Placed on Health and Family
A standard health insurance plan is offered to employees, and in
cases of requests for sick leaves, employees aren’t given such a hard
time and it’s not such an uphill task. In addition, the company also
values family, gives time for and considerations to family-related
issues like maternity leaves, family emergencies, vacations etc.
Low Turnover
This factor is very important in judging how much of a good
workplace a company is. If you notice that a sizeable number of people
that work for the company hardly stay for long and leave unexpectedly
after a short period of time, it might signal that such a workplace is
not good one.
On the flip side, if people tend to stay for a reasonably long
period of time before eventually either moving up the management ladder
or moving on to other ventures, then it’s probably a company with a good
working culture and practices.
