What makes a GREAT Workplace?

Anne-Marie Mongeon

As Devolutions’ marketing coordinator, I’m in charge of the company’s social media and advertising portfolios. I’m also responsible for establishing, maintaining and developing relationships within and beyond the Remote Desktop Manager community. I’m also in charge of the Devolutions blog, which means that I’ll be writing about various topics that, I hope, will be interesting and relevant to community members like you.

Hey everyone,

As you probably know by now, Devolutions is a pretty cool company and we have a lot of fun! For example, we play fooseball, Anki Drive and hockey during breaks (hey, we’re Canadian after all…hockey is mandatory!). Plus we have a team lunch every Wednesday, a fridge full of beer – and a gym so that we can work off our beer bellies :P! We are very grateful to our CEO David for embracing these ideas and making this a very cool place to work. Thanks to all of these, we never hear the phrase “stressed out” in our office!

But enough about us…today, we’d rather focus on you, instead:

**Specifically, we’d love for you to tell us more about what you think makes a GREAT workplace. **

Perhaps it’s where you work right now, or somewhere you’ve worked in the past (or would like to work in the future!). It doesn’t have to be an IT organization, and if you don’t have to name the organization if you’d prefer not to. We’re most interested in what you think makes a workplace GREAT (besides you being there, of course )

SOME IDEAS…

Some companies -- particularly those that make a lot of money using advanced technology on the web and elsewhere -- are paying much more attention to their staff and work environment, so that they can really get the most out of them. For example, over at YouTube, employees can relax with a bit of indoor golf putting, or enjoy free-roam Segway riding, eating, gaming, swimming, and gym activitie -- to name just a few. Or there’s a rule at Google that nobody is allowed to be more than 100 meters away from food, so you’ll find kitchens everywhere, as well as an awesome cafeteria where every employee is fed three times a day…for FREE!

So, tell us what would be the best place in the world to work!

YOU COULD WIN

And of course, everyone who participates will be eligible to win one of 3 Remote Desktop Manager single licenses! We’ll randomly select the winners soon when we share some of the results.

Please tell us what’s on your mind by commenting below, or by sending me an email amongeon@devolutions.net. Thanks!
