So How Do You Build a Company that “People Love Working” At?
6
#1 Starts with the Type of People You Want to Hire
• Ask: “Besides expertise and experience etc., what type of people do I really want to hire?”
• Centrify focuses on: • Smart • Non-political • Collaborative • Collegial • Comfortable in their own skins • Self-starter and self-motivators
• In other words, define the “match.”
7
#2 How Do You Get a High Hit Ratio of the “Match?”
• Candidates should interview at least with > 6 employees.
• Hiring managers must do reference checks (vs. recruiters).
• Do formal background checks: • Did they not reveal an employer? • Did they misstate their education? • Etc.

#3 Invest in Your People
• If people feel that they are learning and growing through being with your company, they are far more likely be more happy and engaged in their jobs.

#4 Empower People
• Involve people in setting goals and aligning with the company strategy. • Expand people’s sphere of influence by giving them authority to make decisions
and take action.

#5 Help People Feel like Part of the Big Picture
• Make sure that people know how vital their contribution is. • Align employee’s individual goals to those of the company.

#6 Share Information
• Share your own enthusiasm for the company's goals and successes. • Help them form relationships with their coworkers in other departments.

#7 Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously

#8 Set Expectations and Give and Get Honest Feedback
• Everyone can be a “good time” manager… but that is kicking the can down the road. • Clearly define expectations.
• Do 360 degree reviews
