5 Signs You’re Working for a Great Employer

“How’s your job going?” It’s one of the most popular questions to ask a friend when catching up, and yet  can say that they are very satisfied with their jobs in response. When things go poorly at work, it becomes easy to focus on the negatives. For some, complaining about their job has practically become a hobby, and when they finally land a role at a workplace without those negatives, it can feel refreshing. But there’s a big difference between working  an employer that provides a neutral employee experience versus one that actively makes sure their staff can thrive. Here are the five strongest signs that you’re working for a great employer.

They Make Your Career a Priority

A job is not the same thing as a career. More than just a paycheck to get you by, your career represents long-term professional growth and should feel fulfilling and rewarding. Unfortunately, only  view their job as a career, and their workplaces are at least partly to blame.

Great employers do everything they can to support the growth of their employees. With this mentality, supervisors and managers ideally become  your mentors, asking you not just what you want to get out of your current position but where you’re looking to be in three, five, and 10 years. Exceptional employers actually listen and respond by helping you find a career path that can get you to where you want to go in your professional life. Whether it’s quarterly, yearly, or something in between, they check in with you for updates and make sure things are still going to plan. This type of  to employees is crucial in turning a job into a career.
