【商業智慧】2023年最佳職場的2個共通點 The two common points of the best workplace in 2023

在2023年經濟不穩定下，科技巨頭大規模裁員與福利減少，然而《Inc.》公布的「2023年最佳職場」調查顯示，優良公司依然堅持兩項重要福利。

第一，這些企業仍然重視提供豐厚的薪資或補助。根據報導，入選的591家公司中，有78%給予超過8周的有薪產假、59%給予無限制的有薪休假、51%提供財務規劃服務、44%提供員工持股等。科技新創公司Lumin Digital支付比同行高10%的薪資，還有提供員工認股，以吸引優秀人才。公司認為，豐厚的薪資與補助是吸引人才的重要條件。

第二，這些公司都強調工作與生活的平衡。尤其對於Z世代與遠端工作者，工作的靈活性與個人生活的彈性變得更為重要。因此，許多公司開始提供員工更多自由與彈性的工作時間，讓員工能在工作與生活中找到平衡。心理健康也是受重視的領域，以財富管理公司GFM為例，他們每季度提供一天的心理健康假。統計顯示，入選最佳職場的企業中，有77%的公司提供心理健康輔導員的服務。

總的來說，這些提供良好待遇的企業在經濟壓力下，仍然堅守員工福利，重視薪資補助和工作生活平衡，是作為「幸福企業」的重要因素之一。

Amidst the economic instability in 2023, tech giants have been conducting massive layoffs and reducing benefits. However, according to the survey conducted by "Inc." for the "Best Workplace of 2023," top-notch companies continue to uphold two crucial benefits.

Firstly, these enterprises prioritize offering generous salaries and allowances. Among the 591 selected companies, 78% provide over 8 weeks of paid parental leave, 59% offer unlimited paid time off, 51% offer financial planning services, and 44% offer employee stock options. For instance, Lumin Digital, a tech startup, pays 10% higher salaries than its competitors and grants employee stock options to attract top talents. The companies believe that attractive compensation and benefits are essential for attracting talents.

Another common feature is that these companies emphasize work-life balance. This becomes especially crucial for Generation Z and remote workers, as the flexibility in work and personal life gains more importance. As a result, many companies have started offering their employees more freedom and flexible working hours to help them strike a balance between work and life. Mental health is also given significant attention. For example, wealth management company GFM provides a mental health day every quarter. Statistics reveal that among the selected best workplaces, 77% of companies offer the services of mental health counselors.

Overall, these best workplaces continue to prioritize employee welfare and focus on salary benefits and work-life balance even under economic pressure. These factors contribute to making them "happy companies."
