Google's Work culture

Google is widely known for being a great place to work, and it's success seems to prove that Google is in fact one of the most well run companies in the world along with Mcdonalds and others. The thing that makes Google stand out, is how their managers allow for employees to have 20% of their work time each day to work on their own work related projects. This allows for employees to show off their true creativity and provide efficient work for their company. It allows employees to become more motivated, because Google basically allows them to work on things that they want to work on. This idea is also great for morale in the work place, because it employees will be happier with a work environment that is different from all the others. Think about how much Google has improved from just a search engine, into email, Google docs, their own web browser, and even now they are getting into their own mobile market, with the recent purchase of Motorola for a hefty 12.5 Billion dollars. Google goes against the norms, and actually allows employees to ask questions through email or  regarding company issues straight to Google executives including Larry Page and Sergey Brin who are the founders of the company. This allows Google's executives to recognize and sort out issues that its own employees have with the company. Google also has free use of laundry machines, a child care centre, free cafeteria meals which are done by professional cooks and their offices are actually dog friendly! As long as your pooch behaves in a fashionable manner, and your co-workers aren't allergic to your pet.

I personally think that the reason Google created such a cool and relaxing atmosphere is because it makes it much easier to lure talented people into their company for work. Who wouldn't want work for a company that has access to use slides or firemen poles to descend from floors, or have their lunch already made for them by  professional cooks? The design of Google's offices is insane, its definitely a dream job that doesn't come easy, as Google is notorious for having very difficult job interviews. Google has done a great job letting the world know just how astonishing their work environment is, making a job at Google seem even more prestigious as many articles praise Google's workplaces.

The perks that come with working at Google are limitless, its a great strategy to motivate and reward workers for the hard work that they put in. Employees won't want to leave Google because of how much more friendly their work environment is. Other companies need to realize what Google is preaching, and allow for employees to be well rewarded for their work, as it has proven to work for Google.
