Becoming the Best in our Industry
MEMORANDUM
TO: Peter Brenner, President and Chief Executive Officer
FROM: Jamie Brenner, Vice President of Operations
DATE: February 16, 2014
SUBJECT: Proposal for becoming the best in our industry
Here is the report you requested on February 10th about the possibility of establishing exclusive relationships with companies on the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For list.
After careful consideration it is my recommendation not to single out specific companies but instead to build a database of company profiles so that individual candidates can be more easily matched to prospective employers. The second part of the recommendation is to add a battery of tests and questionnaires to our client profiles to better understand what type of environment our clients will excel best in.
Here are the main points my recommendation is based on:
FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list is only made up of companies with more than 1000 employees. This is problematic because it is a very small percentage of businesses in the U.S.
Very few of the companies on the list have locations nationwide and U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that only 11.7 percent of Americans moved between 2012-2013 and two-thirds of those who moved only moved within the same county. Unless our clients already live in the city where the company is based, chances are, they won’t move.
A better match to a company will make our clients happier and happier people are 12 percent more productive than unhappy people. Since work is such a big part of our adult lives, working at a company where you believe in their vision and want to be a part of their
