Not one trait above speaks to respecting the actual employee, only what you can get from them. It's a two way street, you want a "perfect employee?" then you better be a "perfect employer" and I'm not sure I see that above.
I think of a perfect employee is one that is:
- paid well
- treated humanely and respectfully
- not considered a cog in a machine bound to arbitrary metrics or impossible-to-meet metrics
- is offered room to grow intellectually
- not asked to create products that harm society in the name of profit
- can create their own side work
- have a reasonable work life balance
- can express opinions freely
- retain privacy and dignity
And a host of other characteristics not mentioned in your company-focused, human minimized description above.
- cauliflower99 5y agoThanks for your list! Like you say - it's a two way street. If I was a recruiter, I would offer examples like yours as values in their future job. You've listed a few that we take for granted in our small company (like not being asked for impossible-to-meet metrics). Can you think of values one should look for in the person themselves in order to fulfill the other side of the two-way street? Thanks again!
