A good job isn't just about the paycheck and insurance benefits. Most people want to feel like their work is contributing to the greater good of the world.
And they want their workplaces to be fun, not miserably stressful, given how many hours of their lives they will spend there.
To that end, job hunting site Glassdoor.com sifted through its enormous database of employee reviews to come up with its 2014 list of the 25 companies that employees say have the best corporate cultures. Employees rated their corporate culture on a scale of one (lowest) to five (highest).
There are some surprises on this list for sure, including a fast-food chain that caused controversy this year with its corporate culture.
2. Pick a card with a company description. Read it, clarify the meaning with the trainer.
3. Imagine you work in this company. What makes you proud? What would you like to change? How long would you work in this company?
4. Imagine you meet a person next to you on a plane on an international flight.
Start a small talk. Use your favourite topic (football, smartphones, etc.) as an icebreaker, then strategically change the topic to different corporate cultures.
Try to find out as much as you can about your neighbour’s company.
5. Report to the group about the corporate culture of the person next to you.
