What Makes a Great Employer?

May 23, 2022

Perhaps you are just starting out in the world of work and are taking the first steps to build a career for yourself. Maybe you are looking to change jobs after years of loyal service. No matter what stage of your career you are at or what line of work you want to pursue, an employer that is aligned to your values and offers you employment that gives real job satisfaction are indicators of a great employer for you. There are several key points to look for when applying for jobs and during the interview process to ensure that you pick a good employer. Here are just some of the main considerations when looking for a new job.

Do they offer flexible working practices?

In a world that has seen significant upheavals because of the Covid-19 pandemic, flexible working patterns are now an expected part of a job offer for many potential employees. Research indicates that more than half the workforce who do not have flexible working practices available would like these offered to them. While flexible working has become “the new normal” in the wake of Covid-19, it is also a highly effective way for employees to gain greater control of their work-life balance. With working from home and hybrid models of work, the employee is saving time by losing commuting journeys and has more time in the day for family activities as a result. A great employer recognizes the value of offering staff flexible schedules, so this is an important question to ask potential employers at interviews or read in job descriptions.

Do they actively seek to retain their staff?

A great employer will understand the value of long-term staff members for the deep levels of sector-specific knowledge they have gained and their ability to undertake a variety of tasks effectively with minimal supervision or additional training. Long-term staff will have also built up strong working relationships with other co-workers to allow seamless inter-departmental co-operation. Companies such as inpulse.com recognize the true overall value of retaining talented employees and how challenging this can be. Such companies offer survey platforms that allow employers to gain valuable insights on working life from the employee’s perspective with the aim of minimizing staff turnover. Asking what strategies an organization has in place to retain existing staff is a superb question during an interview with a potential employer, and the answer will give an insight into the value the company places on employee retention.

Do they offer comprehensive training?

Most employees expect to receive induction training and annual mandatory training to ensure that the basics are covered during their employment. However, a truly great employer will also offer bespoke training opportunities to staff looking to progress within the company. There should be access to specialist courses and clear routes to career development, internal promotions, and the ability to gain improved qualifications. These indicators show that the company is committed to lifelong learning and is actively involved in allowing employees to develop and progress. Enquiring about routes to progression within the organization will give a clear picture of how much the firm values developing its talent in-house.
