Here's
a Forbes story that lists the ten happiest companies in America. It doesn't have a number ranking, and also doesn't contain many surprises, but it's interesting nonetheless.
As I've written in the past, happier companies are generally more profitable, even when their policies can seem counterintuitive. For instance, Google offers free oil changes, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to its employees, while UBS has a nap room and Friday beer cart.
If you don't want to keep clicking "Next" on that Forbes site, you can get more info at
this Yahoo link, but that only lists five of the companies for some reason. Here is the full list:
Adobe
American Express
Google
IBM
KPMG
PepsiCo
Southwest Airlines
Starbucks
UBS
Zappos
A nap room? Woah.
ReplyDeleteI know, some of the stuff on that list sound pretty crazy (like Pepsi giving land to their employees so they can garden at work!?!?!), but whatever works is good I suppose!
