Google can I work for you?



So below are the top happiest companies to work for.... I've head stories about Google before and IBM isn't bad either. I think if more companies actually took grass roots meetings seriously and be more pro employee maybe you can make happier workers. I plan to be self-employed by the age of 40 if not sooner. I have too much knowledge and intelligence to waste it away on someone else getting paid.....


Adobe
Offers employees positive psychology training; onsite cafeterias, fitness facilities and bocce courts; and 80 associations like knitting and book clubs bring employees together based on personal interests.

American Express
Encourages flexible schedules like telecommuting, job-sharing and compressed workweeks; employees are offered paid sabbaticals; gay partners receive health benefits.

Google
Offers onsite childcare and encourages employees to visit children during the day; famously provides free meals and snacks; supplies ping pong tables and videogame stations where employees can break from work.

IBM
According to happiness expert Shawn Achor, MIT researchers studied thousands of IBM employees for a year and found the more social they were the better they performed. Each additional e-mail contact added $948 in revenue. IBM since launched a program to facilitate employee introductions to increase overall happiness

KPMG
Invests in happiness training; allows employees to take partially paid leaves for up to 12 weeks; encourages flexible scheduling and formal mentoring programs.
