I think that much of being a good employer is create an environment where people feel a sense of belonging and safety. For me this is about communication. How do you handle conflict, how do you invite people to be authentic, how do you share your expectations or frustrations in a way where it's ok and everyone can just share what's present for them. Learning how to create a clear space for communication has probably been the biggest thing I've learned as an entrepreneur.

As an employer, I prioritize competitive benefits, flexible work options, continuous learning, and a supportive, inclusive environment to attract and retain top talent. Recognizing achievements and fostering career growth are key to ensuring our team's satisfaction and success.

@hamza_afzal_butt flexible work options: can they work any hours they want to? What can I imagine under competitive benefits?

@busmark_w_nika Yes, Competitive benefits include comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans, professional development opportunities, and wellness programs.
I have never worked for a corporate or large company. However, from what I understand, effective communication about our work and preferences with our colleagues is essential. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but sometimes, even the smartest individuals can seem clichéd if they lack good communication skills within the team.

@ipuldev yep, you need to have there those people who are more "friendly". When the company is going hard only for profit (which is understandable), some people can slide to "robotic" behaviour. It is not good. Lack of emotions is not also good (but the same applies when there are too many emotions).
@busmark_w_nika Aha, I see. That's a great point; we need to find a balance.
Honestly, if a company doesn't offer remote work these days, it’s a hard pass from me.

@aronwalter8 The same :D I try to be far away from those office opportunities. It feels like to be in a jail. New age Alcatraz.
Right now, I am an employee. I wanted to know what an employer thinks about being a good employer.

@nitin_joshi It is hard to define it because it is more than offering benefits and stimuli. The person needs to feel free. Like when you are at home. But when the company is bigger, it is harder to achieve that.
I believe I'm a good employer because I offer benefits sweeter than a cache hit, like flexible working hours, continuous skills development, and a snack bar that rivals the best code commits! How do I retain top talent? By making sure they never experience a syntax error in their work-life balance!
Hey @busmark_w_nika! 😄 Great question! As someone who values people as the heart of a company, I believe offering comprehensive benefits like competitive salaries, health and wellness programs, flexible working hours, and opportunities for career growth are crucial. Retaining top talent is just as important and involves creating a positive work culture where employees feel valued and recognized. Cheers to building great teams! 😊🚀
Hey @busmark_w_nika! 😄 You're spot on about needing the best people to be the best company. In my experience, offering competitive salaries, great health benefits, and opportunities for professional development are key to attracting top talent. To retain them, creating a positive work environment where people feel valued and recognized for their contributions goes a long way. What strategies have you found effective in retaining your best employees? 😊
I focus on providing perks that matter, like healthcare benefits. Happy employees stick around longer!
For me, it's about creating a supportive work environment where everyone's voice is heard and ideas are valued.
As an employer, I believe in offering more than just a salary - flexible work hours and career growth opportunities keep my team motivated and committed.
I believe that every employee brings unique strengths and perspectives to the table and i also believe flexible work options, ongoing learning opportunities, and a supportive, inclusive environment to attract and retain top talent.
Offer competitive salary, great benefits like unlimited PTO, fully covered health insurance, 401k match, etc. Foster a positive, supportive culture with work-life balance. Provide growth opportunities, mentorship, and investment in employee development. Involve the team in key decisions to give them ownership. Recognize and reward high performance. Host fun team events to build camaraderie. Ultimately, treat your people well and make them feel valued - that's how you attract and retain top talent!
