Curious how the best workplaces thrive? Cloudforce Cracked the Code on Company Culture according to Inc. Magazine! 🔓🌟 Check out the full article ➡: https://lnkd.in/ebTa2e_a 🏆In addition to being named an Inc. Best Workplaces for the third consecutive year, Cloudforce was also honored to be handpicked by Inc. Magazine as a featured company in its recent article: "How the Best Workplaces Hacked Company Culture." 🎉It reveals how nation's most exemplary #BestWorkplaces have consistently been able to overcome widespread staff engagement and retention challenges while still maintaining growth, even in an inflationary economy. Best Workplaces are selected based on rigorous employee surveys, conducted this year by Quantum Workplace. “If you survey staff, I think there’s an expectation that their feedback is actually heard," said Cloudforce CEO and Founder Husein Sharaf. "So we take it very seriously.” For Cloudforce, this ethos has led to switching health insurance providers; introducing flexible core hours to accommodate personal commitments; allowing up to eight hours of paid time to study for position-relevant certifications and training; and establishing resources and training programs for our growing management team. 🤝🌱Cloudforce has even adopted healthier snack 🍎options--all in response to employee survey responses. 🧑🚀"We need to be able to hold on to our most valuable asset, and that is our people," said Sharaf. 🏢 A huge thank you to our incredible #eliteforce for your ongoing feedback and dedication. Together, we are creating a workplace where everyone thrives! 🚀
