The Simplicity of Happy Employees
Inc.com does it again - a great, simple article about making people happy at work. Three steps to happiness to ask? Is it really that easy? Well these ideas are doable and simple and will generate results.
As the author states at the end:
"The very best companies I've studied and written about honor these principles, and enact them lavishly. They don't pay lipservice and they don't do the bare minimum; they go overboard. Their CEOs do so because they know the secret of leadership: look after the people and the people look after the business."

Highlights from Canada and BC Top Employers
 Here are some highlights from a very large company that has a presence here in Victoria, BC. Schneider Electric is well known in Victoria for it's community outreach, it's support of employee development and it's overall good reputation for being a great employer!
Some of the reasons why Schneider Electric was selected as one of BC's Top 100 Employers for 2012:
- encourages ongoing professional development with tuition subsidies for job-related courses, in-house and online training initiatives, subsidies for professional accreditation, and an online skills inventory
- offers new employee referral bonuses (to $5,000) for some positions, a share purchase plan option, and a defined contribution pension plan
- helps employees balance their professional and personal lives through a variety of alternative work arrangements, including telecommuting, flexible hours, compressed work week, and a shortened work week option (fewer hours with less pay)
- supports employees with older children through a post-secondary academic scholarship program (to $3,000 each)
- offers new employees three weeks of paid vacation to start, working to a maximum of six weeks paid vacation, and just happens to be located on beautiful Vancouver Island
Locally, Schneider Electric is a big supporter of Habitat for Humanity as well.
