As January has come to an end, here at Send Me Your CV we thought it would be a great idea to let you know about a recent survey Glassdoor carried out. The UK's Best Place to Work in 2020 was compiled with employees’ input being the focal touchpoint.
It’s good to have an understanding about what current employees think of their workplace environment and how they fit in as individuals with the company’s ethos and goals. This year, it has been all about the culture fit and how this affects employers and employees alike. Let's first take a look at what this means.
What does cultural fit mean?
Organisations can include the cultural fit guidelines in their job description. Their mission statement, goals and values can give you a good indication as to what their beliefs are as a company and what relationship they want with their employees, clients and other organisations. If you feel that you are on the same page as the potential company and that it rises excitement, passion and drive in you, then go ahead and apply!
Who came in at #1?
Tech giant, Google, made it to the top of the list at number one! “This year’s winners stand out for promoting transparency with employees, offering career growth opportunities and providing work driven by impact and purpose,” said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor president, chief operating officer (extracted from Glassdoor's website).
