Getting a job at a great company can be a daunting task. Truly great companies might be few and far between, but they all have similar traits that make them great. The best employer in modular industry will help you spot these common traits to help you land your dream job at a company that is right for you.

MISSION. People with a focused mission work with companies with a focused mission.

Every great company is mission driven. As Simon Sinek, leadership guru, author, and professor, puts it, “If you hire people just because they can do the job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.” When a company allows their mission and values to navigate them forward, they attract people who share the same beliefs. People who work for mission-driven companies tend to stay longer and feel more satisfied with their job. If you work for these companies, they will not just send you home with a paycheck − but also with a more profound sense of purpose and fulfillment.

REWARD FOR CHALLENGE. Companies willing to rise to the challenge reward their team members for doing the same.

Let’s face it − we’re talking about business, and productivity is, and should be, a top priority. Sadly, some companies don’t show recognition and do not care to incentivize hard work. No matter how big or small the win is, great companies will celebrate it. They will express their gratitude in giving awards, bonuses, promotions, gift cards, and handwritten notes. Zappos, an American online shoe and clothing retailer known for their deep sense of customer service, practices a unique way of recognition. Every employee in Zappos gets 50 dollars to give to a coworker they think deserves it.

LAUNCH TALENT. Instead of assigning jobs and putting people in them, “A” Teams create jobs around talented people.

2017 Talent Trends survey was a survey by Mercer finding that 5,400 employees worldwide desire individuality in the workplace. Instead of hiring you for a position, a great company will create a job that would best cater to your strengths and attributes.

FLEXIBILITY. A company that practices a flexible attitude will have it reflected in a very productive way.

Flexible companies will consider your wellbeing and adjust to your situation. They will respect your time and understand that you have a life outside the workplace. Aries is a great example of a flexible company. Employees feel that Aries respects their work/life balance and understands that their employees must take care of all aspects of their lives before they can give their best at work.

REMOVE TOXICITY. Great companies shield their employees from toxicity.

Work can be pretty challenging. Loving what you do is not enough, you also must be in a healthy environment that you will enjoy being in. Gary Chapman, author of Rising Above a Toxic Workplace, says, “When a workplace becomes toxic, its poison spreads beyond its walls and into the lives of its workers and their families.” A great company will protect you from toxicity and provide you with a healthy work environment by addressing the problem before it progresses. Since great companies promote workplace wellness, they implement policies that can prevent toxicity. These include anti-bullying policies, training that addresses bullying, and disciplinary actions for employees who violate policies.

FRIENDSHIP. Working with a company that genuinely cares about your happiness & success creates a mutual authentic friendship.

Friendships make life beautiful. Since people spend the majority of their lives in their workplace, positive relationships are essential. Katie Roman, senior vice president of Aries Buildings, said this about working with Aries: “I must admit, sometimes I wake up excited. Literally excited. I’m working a job that I enjoy with people I like spending time with and a company that brings space solutions to the world. Our mission solves problems and brings people peace of mind. How can I not love my job?!” When you work with a great company, they will motivate you to build strong relationships through get-togethers, scheduled team building exercises, or simply encouraging employee interactions.

OPEN COMMUNICATION. Companies that create a safe environment for open communication are unstoppable. Top talent appreciates transparency.

They say communication is the key to a strong relationship. That is why great companies know how to receive feedback and suggestions. They will provide a safe environment for team members to voice ideas and feel heard. Your opinions matter. Companies that promote transparency create strong relationships within the workplace, resulting in high morale and efficiency.

INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP. This can’t be achieved through clever marketing. It must be REAL. Companies with an authentic, healthy culture will attract the same.

An industry leader is a company that is considered to be the most effective in its industry. They are known for their excellence and expertise. Since they are at the top of their game, they usually have the most experienced, top talent. Landing a job in these companies will allow you to skill up and boost your resumé. Industry leaders often pay well and offer many growth opportunities to deserving team members.

PROVIDE TOOLS. Great companies provide their team members the right tools and technology to show they care by arming them with an easier path to success.

They say you are only as good as the tools you use. A great job entails having the right skill set and the right tools and technology. A great company will not let you march to the battlefield unarmed. Great companies will provide you with everything you need to succeed.

FUN. Um, hello!? We ALL like to have fun. It needs to be in the workplace, too.

A great company is a fun company. Those that incorporate fun in the workplace have better and more creative employees. Companies like Google incorporate fun by having office perks including music and art studios, mini-golf courses, ping pong tables, climbing walls, and even nap pods. But suppose a company does not offer office perks as prestigious as Google. It does not necessarily mean that they don’t have a fun environment. Google and many other great companies all share the same goal for promoting a fun workplace — they want you to love your job and enjoy what you are doing.
