Columnist Jim Olszytnski shares his findings on the characteristics that define a quality workplace.
Good organizations come in all shapes, sizes and cultures. Good jobs can be found in big and small firms alike. Some operate with a very formal business-like structure, and some so loosely it seems the inmates are running the asylum. Some have dress codes and a lot of other rules governing employee behavior, some don't. Some bosses/owners have a hands-on management style, others are somewhat aloof.
