Defining The Optimal Employer<br />

Evaluation<br />

“I hate my job” or “my job<br />

sucks” are the standard cries<br />

of many people who want to<br />

change jobs.<br />

However, various research<br />

from HR consultancies and<br />

corporate ‘exit’ interviews<br />

suggest that about 85% of<br />

people in fact, don’t hate the<br />

job itself, they actually hate<br />

the company they work for<br />

or the people they work with.<br />

And yet, people always talk about it being the job’s fault.<br />

Job seekers often think solely about the job. They just don’t give enough<br />

thought to the company that is going to provide that job. They’re so focused on the role, the<br />

responsibilities, the reward package (all very important, obviously) that they fail to consider<br />

just how much ‘the company’ will influence just about everything about the job.<br />

The ‘company’…<br />

• y employs your colleagues – the people you either love or hate<br />

• y sets standards of Habit and dress codes<br />

• y creates the atmosphere you are going to work in<br />

• y buys the furniture you sit on<br />

• y decides on benefits<br />

• y sets the rules by which people are promoted (or not)<br />

• y establishes the systems, processes and rules that you either find fair or unjust<br />

• y … the company even decides what is in the vending machine<br />
