Posted by What does it mean to be a company people want to work for? An organization can be a top employer if it can find and keep the best people by having a good company culture, a good way of leading, and a high level of employee engagement. Most of the time, the top employer pays attention to customers’ and workers’ well-being, safety, and happiness.
Here are 7 tips to help you become a top employer that people want to work for.
1. Fair Compensation
Salary and work conditions have never been the only things that made a job desirable, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t necessary.
Top employers try to pay their workers a salary and perks on par with or above the market rate. Most top employers give their workers full benefits, like health insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, and paid vacation, because they can afford to.

2. Job Security
Employees who work for top employers can be confident that their employer has an excellent financial situation. Employees don’t have to worry about losing their jobs, so they can focus on their goals and main tasks.
3. A Chance for Growth
Employees feel like they are being pushed to keep improving their skills and careers. To help their employees get better at what they do, these employers offer performance growth plans, career paths, internal and external training opportunities, and stretch assignments.
4. Extensive Involvement
Strong employer brands make workers feel like they have a chance to make a difference. They can make suggestions, develop new goods or services, serve on employee committees to plan events and work processes and go to the right meetings to talk about work processes that affect their jobs.
5. Acknowledgement and Rewards
Employers who are good at what they do give regular feedback to their workers about their performance, growth opportunities, successes, and places where they need to improve. Employee recognition is one of the most important ways to give feedback. For top employers, praise is often given based on real achievements, and reinforces good, desired behavior.
6. Respect
Employees may not always be correct, and their ideas may not determine the direction and choices of the company. Still, when they work for a top employer, they feel their bosses and coworkers respect them.
7. Taking Charge
Employees are given the power to decide how they do their jobs and are expected to take credit for what they do. Their department gives employees a strategic framework (the company’s purpose, vision, values, goals, and feedback). Still, they decide what to do and how to do their core jobs and move toward their goals.
These aren’t all things that make a company a good place to work, but if your company has many of these things, you’re well on your way to becoming an employer that attracts and keeps good workers.
