We’ve all heard nice sounding jargons from Human Resource Managers on why their companies are the best to work for. However, here are
the tale tell signs that will guide you in choosing a company to work for. Here
they are:
1. How does the
receptionist look?
Receptionists and secretaries are the window to the soul of
the company. Do they look happy with their work? Do they look frustrated? If a
company is truly committed to its employees, then receptionists and other
junior workers must be treated with ultimate respect. The reason why
receptionists and other
gatekeepers appear resentful, or even angry is because they feel they are not sharing in the company’s fortunes, despite them supposedly bringing more to the table.

2. Freebies offered.
Does the company offer free snacks, or break time tea, or
lunch at subsidized rates? If it does, then most likely it will pay you well.
3. Work life balance?
In a world where the world of life and work is getting
increasingly blurred, a golden employer will know how to separate the two. Of
course, in some professions, like doctors, or reporters, one is on call for 24
hours a day, seven days a week. However, for other professions, generous leave
times must be allowed.
4. How does it treat
its women employees?
Does the company offer generous maternity leave? Does it
make it convenient for working women with children to balance work and life
conveniently? Chris Kirubi, a prominent entrepreneur, says that he often has to
balance when working with women, since when he gives women maternity leave, the
one who replaces them does the job so well that he ahs to retain both of them
for the same position. How does the company balance these unique needs of
women?
