拉里?佩奇:打造“家”一樣的谷歌
我無法想象谷歌會有許多吸煙的員工。您可以舉例具體說說您如何有意識地幫助員工保持健康嗎? ????通常情況下,人們應該去大型健身中心健身——但是我們發(fā)現(xiàn),很多人在大量使用社區(qū)附近的小型健身器材?!疚覀円恢薄看_保為員工提供真正健康的食品。我們把餐后甜點放在墻壁周圍,放在房間角落。我們安排了醫(yī)生提供現(xiàn)場服務。我們想能做更多事情,使醫(yī)療保健變得更方便、更簡單、更快捷,這有助于人們保持健康。如果為了保持健康,需要在下班后先開車前往健身中心、停車,然后還要等待很長時間,就根本達不到促進健康的目的。 免費食品在谷歌是神圣不可侵犯的福利嗎? ????是不是只要谷歌存在,就會永遠提供免費食品?我不知道,但我覺得目前完全沒問題。我不太擔心開支問題。我唯一擔心的是造成過度浪費。免費食品讓公司更有家的感覺。而且,在某種程度上,它也會促進某些更健康的飲食習慣:一次不會吃得太多。 早在和謝爾蓋成家之前很久就一直對兒童保健很感興趣,更不用說兒童了。成家是否改變了您平衡工作與生活的觀念? ????沒有太多改變。一直以來,我們都擅長確保靈活地對待員工。公司尊重員工,員工就會投桃報李。這一點對于家庭來說也同樣適用。 ????譯者:喬樹靜/汪皓 |
I can't imagine a lot of Googlers smoke. Can you give me an example of something that you're consciously trying to do for the health of employees? ????Generally you go to these big facilities for gyms -- but we noticed people were heavily using the smaller gyms that are closer to their buildings. [We've been] making sure we have really healthy food for people. We started putting the desserts around a wall, just around the corner. We have doctors on site. We'd like to do more of that, where we really make health care convenient and easy and faster, which I think helps people stay healthy. If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that's not going to promote healthiness. Is free food sacrosanct at Google? ????Will it always be there as long as there's a Google? I don't know about always, but it seems to be working for us pretty well. I don't worry about the cost. The only thing I worry about is making sure we're not causing too much consumption as a result of it. It does make the company feel more like a family. And to some extent it promotes healthier practices: You don't have to get a huge portion of something. You and Sergey were interested in child care long before you had spouses, let alone children. How has becoming a family man changed your concept of work/life balance at Google? ????It hasn't changed that much. We've always been good at making sure we're treating employees flexibly. You treat people with respect, they tend to return the favor to the company. And that goes for families. |
