How to Become a Best-in-Class Employer
There’s more to being a great employer than paying a competitive wage and providing great benefits—although that certainly helps. To be “best-in-class,” a company must also be a great place to work, which can mean different things to different people.
To meet the needs of employees, you must first understand what they are—and the best employers build service into the foundation of their business.
PrideStaff’s Mission to “Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most” applies to our employers and associates. Our dedication to providing excellent service to job seekers has resulted in PrideStaff winning Clearly Rated’s Best of Staffing Talent Satisfaction for 14 straight years. What’s our secret?
Connection.
In this fast-paced world, we take every opportunity to engage with job seekers to keep our finger on the pulse of what matters most to those we serve. And you should, too. How can you stay connected to your workforce? Consider the following ways:
Solicit Feedback
One of the best ways to improve the workplace is to listen to employees’ feedback. Soliciting feedback helps employers identify issues that are affecting the workforce. Use surveys, focus groups, or one-on-one conversations to gather input. When possible, take action to address the issues raised, showing employees you care about their work experience and building trust.
Invest in Technology
Technology provides many opportunities to connect with employees, offering a more personal and tailored work experience. Investing in a company app, automation platform, or other forms of communication can keep employees on the same page and engaged in their work, leading to higher job satisfaction.
Provide Professional Development Opportunities
Providing professional development opportunities is an important way to help employees grow and advance in their careers. This can include training, mentorship, or tuition reimbursement programs. By investing in the development of employees, employers show that they are committed to their success, making employees feel valued and increasing their loyalty to the organization.
Improve Onboarding
The first few weeks of employment are critical for employees. A positive onboarding experience can set the tone for the rest of the employee’s tenure at the company. Employers can improve onboarding by providing clear instructions, assigning a mentor or buddy, and creating a welcoming environment that makes new hires feel supported and confident.
