THE BEST EMPLOYER
by VENURAJA Bowenpalle on Apr 23, 2007 11:10 AM

People try to realize their ambitions at their work place. That is through their job. A human being needs a soceity because otherwise there would not be a place to realise one's dreams and ambitions,desires and finally self-realization.
That is the reason some employees do not leave an organisation even when higher salries are offered by some other company. They would say old devil is better than unknown angel. And they would mostly compare their wives with an unknown beauty they encounter.
The point is job satisfaction is all the more important. The job satisfaction comes in to picture only when you employ brilliant and creative employees. That is the key. What type of employees the organisation has recruited and working with ? The organistaion may be using some stupids and dumb heads to recruit some more employees who may be their replicas. So, any creative guy who wants to put his creative ideas feels stifled and would get out of the organisation even when if it meant low salary. It always happens. And it is mostly likely that you would see very low attrition rate in such stupid oranisations where stupids only have a wonderful positions. It is more or less a fool's paradise, where dumb heads rule to the roost.
For example in many Govt. organisations attritions rates are almost nill. It does not mean that there is great job satisfaction in Govt.offices.
I have faced innumerable interviews and worked in a dozen companies. In my experience , I found that recruitments hold the key for a good and successful organisation. It is amazing to see headstrong, extremely stupid guys sitting in the interview board in some of those so called MNC's!! The organisation's success in business in these cases are mostly because the product sells better by itself rather than because of its employees !! for example Oracle software product sells by itself and not because of it's software managers,project mangers or much the less because of its employee recrutiment guys.
Any company which cares for its employee's creative spirit,provides avenues for talent, recognises the talent and promotes the talent is the best place to work in my opinion.
Many foreign companies have now come to India and accrding to rules they incorporate as a private limited company in India. Most of them indeed have to prove themselves as the best employers. The scene is changing very fast.
The high turnover of the employees (attrition rate) is only one of the indicaters.
I think the survey is merely an approxiation of the truth , if you try to know the best employer.
