Employee Relations

Effective employee relations tactics are absolutely crucial to an organization's operations. Having outstanding employee communication and conducting regular comm. audits are one method of ensuring satisfied employees and a well rounded company culture. 

Recently, I have been particularly interested in the company culture of some major tech brands. I am currently in the process of applying for what I consider to be a 'dream' (entry level) job at Google. Naturally, I researched the company culture at Google to become familiar with company culture and perks and was not surprised to find out what I learned. Some of the highlights include:

1.  The office in San Francisco uses slides not elevators
2. The ability to bring your dog to work
3. Free brick over pizza everyday
4. There are hammocks in the hallways
5. More than 18 cafe choices
6. Free breakfast, lunch & dinner
7. Seven person conference bicycles (?!)
8. Laundry service
9. Mechanics & free oil changes
10. Massage therapists
11. On site arcade
12. Guest speakers like Obama and Conan O'Brien
13. "Weirdness is appreciated"

Last year, Google put out a video contest called "Life at Google" where the various locations sent in home videos of what it is like to work at Google.

This is the video of the campus I am interested in, the Mountain View, CA campus.
