There’s no magic formula: Creating an excellent workplace takes years of energy, effort and conscious planning. Follow this basic roadmap and your company might get there in a few years.
This is my 14th year of reporting on the Best Places to Work in Hawai‘i and this year reminds me of one of my favorite sayings from high school history classes: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
My teenage-self loved the irony of that aphorism and I especially enjoyed saying it in the original French: “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.”
The saying comes back to me at a time when technology and innovation have upended almost everything, and then the pandemic upended everything again. Yet the fundamentals of human happiness and morality remain largely unchanged.
Similarly, the fundamentals of Best Places to Work have always included – and still include – employees trusting their organizations’ leadership, feeling wanted and valued, and being treated fairly.
A Best Place to Work seeks to deliver on those fundamentals. But it doesn’t stay a Best Place to Work unless it’s also willing to change: correcting flaws uncovered by the annual BPTW survey of employees and revising rules and benefits based on what employees want and need.
Only recently have we begun reporting the percentage of executives who are female in each organization and whether that organization usually offers telecommuting options to employees. And only recently have we named the Best Places to Work for Women and for LGBTQ employees. Those are valuable measures – we should have acknowledged them sooner – just as valuable as the number of vacation days and whether the company offers a 401(k) match.
