為什么說(shuō)高盛的確是適合工作的好地方
????在下曼哈頓區(qū)上空兩百英尺,約20名員工肩并肩坐在一間寬敞的現(xiàn)代化會(huì)議室里,參加冥想課程。他們跟著導(dǎo)師的指導(dǎo)吸氣和呼氣。導(dǎo)師讓他們?cè)谛闹心瑪?shù)五個(gè)數(shù),每次注意力動(dòng)搖的時(shí)候就重頭開始默數(shù)。導(dǎo)師輕聲說(shuō):“注意你的思緒會(huì)飄向何處。放下今天的壓力?!?/p> ????這項(xiàng)冥想課程源自這家公司的“每周恢復(fù)”健康計(jì)劃,涉及在五個(gè)工作日內(nèi)的壓力管理、幸福和工作生活平衡問(wèn)題。而它只是這個(gè)舒適的工作場(chǎng)所提供的諸多非常規(guī)福利中的一項(xiàng)。其他福利還包括太極俱樂(lè)部、每周五次的普拉提課程、餐廳的泡泡茶、曾奪冠的龍舟隊(duì)、邀請(qǐng)嘉賓到公司演講(如棒球明星德瑞克?基特),以及出于慈善目的舉辦的通宵尋寶游戲等。 ????這些聽起來(lái)像是谷歌總部才會(huì)有的活動(dòng),但在這里你會(huì)看到人們穿的是愛(ài)馬仕(Hermès),而不是衛(wèi)衣,而這些冥想者們都在為高盛(Goldman Sachs)工作。這家可敬的投資銀行已有144年的歷史。近幾年,高盛一直處在風(fēng)口浪尖,因?yàn)榻鹑谖C(jī)而備受指責(zé)和批評(píng);而且,在這里每周工作70至80個(gè)小時(shí)更是家常便飯。但這家公司也有另外的一面。除了媒體上的報(bào)道外,這家公司有著獨(dú)特的文化和對(duì)公司非常滿意的員工。我們發(fā)誓,人們都渴望能在這家公司找到一份工作。 ????別懷疑我們說(shuō)的話。大家可以問(wèn)一問(wèn)那里的員工。高盛在今年的《財(cái)富》100家最適宜工作的公司排行榜上名列第45位。這份榜單以員工反饋為依據(jù)對(duì)工作場(chǎng)所進(jìn)行排名。自1998年該榜單設(shè)立以來(lái),高盛年年上榜。榜單上像這樣的“常青樹”一共也只有13家公司。【摩根大通(J.P.

????Two hundred feet above lower Manhattan in an airy modern conference room, some 20 employees are sitting elbow to elbow as they participate in a meditation session. Breathing in, then out, they heed the guidance of their instructor, who tells them to count to five silently -- and to start over every time their attention wavers. "Notice where your mind wanders to," she implores. "Let go of the day's stresses." ????The course grew out of the company's Resiliency Week, a wellness initiative on stress management, happiness, and work-life balance over five days. It's one of a number of unconventional perks at this plush workplace. Others include a tai chi club, five-times-a-week Pilates, bubble tea in the café, a champion dragon-boating team, lectures from visitors such as Derek Jeter, and an all-night scavenger hunt for charity. ????It may sound like the Googleplex, but you'll find Hermès rather than hoodies here: The meditators work forGoldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500), the venerable 144-year-old investment bank. Yes, the one that's been in the cross hairs in recent years as it both reeled from and was blamed for the financial crisis; yes, the one where 70- to 80-hour workweeks are considered routine. Say hello to the other side of this company. Beyond the headlines, there's a unique culture and a remarkably satisfied workforce. We swear. And people are dying to get jobs here. ????Don't take our word for it. Ask the employees. Goldman Sachs is No. 45 this year on Fortune's annual list of 100 Best Companies to Work For, the definitive ranking of corporate workplaces based on employee feedback. And no, this isn't the result of a new mission to improve working conditions: Goldman has earned a spot on our list every year since we started it in 1998 -- and it's one of just 13 companies that can make that claim. (J.P. Morgan (JPM, Fortune 500) and Merrill Lynch are the only other big investment banks to ever make the list, and not since in 1999.) This year Goldman employees helped to bump up their company 48 slots. ????What gives? Conventional wisdom might say it's the money that keeps people sated here. Indeed, the firm saw average compensation of roughly $380,000 over the past 12 months. And while that number skews high because of multimillion-dollar paychecks at the top, Goldman typically sets aside more cash for compensation per employee than any other major bank. ????But according to 62 pages and more than 40,000 words of unfiltered employee comments collected by the Great Place to Work Institute (which conducts the employee survey) and reviewed by Fortune, it's not just the pay that makes the employees so fond of their firm. Nor is it the swank corporate headquarters, the four-month maternity leave, or an obsessive devotion to philanthropy. |
