On December 30, 2014 Glassdoor published their list of the top 10 things employees like about their companies and the things they hate.
I am a big fan of the website Glassdoor as a window into the employee and employer relationship. I know there are lots of ways the site can be gamed by companies, competitors, employees and former employees but overall it provides a fascinating picture of how employees feel about the companies they work for.
From the early days of Senior Housing Forum I have frequently talked about how senior living communities can create better work environments and how great work environments lead to lower turnover, happier residents and fuller communities.
Since ServiceTrac (staff satisfaction surveys), OnShift (Cloud based scheduling) and iTacit (Cloud based employee tracking and support services) I have spent even more time looking at and thinking about human capital issues.
Likes and Gripes
On December 30, 2014 Glassdoor published their list of the top 10 things employees like about their companies and the things they hate. I find myself wondering how the senior living sector stacks up on both the likes list and the gripes list. Here they are?
10 Biggest Job Likes of Employees
1. Great Co-workers 2. Work Environment 3. Good Benefits 4. Interesting Work 5. Good Pay 6. Work-Life Balance 7. Flexible Work Schedule 8. Company Culture 9. Fast-Paced Environment 10. Smart People

10 Biggest Job Gripes of Employees
1. Annoying Co-workers 2. Poor Work-Life Balance 3. Poor Work Environment 4. Long Hours 5. Low Pay 6. Management 7. Inflexible Work Schedule 8. Few Career Opportunities 9. Poor Company Culture 10. Few Training Opportunities

How does your community or your company stack up in these two lists?
What are you going to be doing in 2015 to minimize gripes and maximize likes?
