Employee Value

I recently read a newspaper article that brought back memories of a company I worked for. The article described a Weston, Florida company Ultimate Software, that was listed in Fortune Magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies to work for. The philosophy puts its people first with stock awards for all, full family medical and dental coverage, a company matched 401K, more stock and trips for high performers and time off to work for charities. WOW! The company I worked for was DEC, a Fortune 100 company, now part of HP. DEC even gave out Thanksgiving Turkeys to every employee.

Ultimate Software believes that company ownership makes a difference. I for one believe they are right on!

How do you value your employees?
