WHETHER it is Vision Group, MTN, Google, Airtel or Madhvani Group, Nile Breweries, utl, Uganda Breweries or URA, top companies share certain qualities that make them a great place to work. If you are looking for a new job, you should look for firms that share these qualities.

An interest in producing employee satisfaction. This is probably one of the best things that company leaders could develop in order to ensure employee commitment to the company.

When employees know that they are cared for, or believe that reasonable attempts are made to assist them where possible, this makes them feel wanted. Some employers have regular meetings where the needs of the employees are discussed and solutions suggested.

Making employees feel important to the employer gives them morale to work. This transforms it from a job to a mission. Value is then added to make them feel important by the benefits provided.

Of course, small companies cannot do what the larger ones can, but all can make employees feel appreciated and respected.

Participation in management decisions
Feeling wanted and being heard is another important aspect of what makes a top company one of the best places to work.

These firms usually encourage employee participation and recommendations in changes of the workplace environment. Not all decisions come from the top down.
Empowering employees to do their job better

Another common feature of a great place to work is that employers provide a way to invest in their employees, enabling them to do a better job.
They hire good people, create a team that is interesting in doing something good, and the company is willing to provide training to further develop that employee.

Spreading the wealth to benefit the employee. Companies can add further value to their employees by their willingness to share the wealth with them. This encourages the employees to work even harder to ensure that the company makes a profit.

Once owners and employers have a genuine interest in letting the employees share in the profit, then most employees are willing to add the name, best company.
