Success can be a game with many players.
One of the side effects of the free food for Google staff is what is known as the “Google 15” – the number of pounds that employees typically gain after joining the internet company. But whether it is providing snacks and gourmet meals in the canteen, annual skiing trips or games rooms at the office, the philosophy behind such perks is the same – encouraging staff to meet each other, interact in informal settings and encourage teamwork.
One way the company does this is to hold competitions in everything from office decorating to dancing and football, with prizes for the winners. Managers also receive a quarterly “celebratory fund” either to reward accomplishments, or to build teamwork by going bowling, go-carting or dining out.
The Best Workplaces survey indicates that such initiatives have a powerful effect. At Google Italy, for example, 90 per cent of the employees agreed that “people celebrate special events around here”. Also in Italy, 100 per cent agreed that “this is a friendly place to work”, and 96 per cent agreed that “there is a ‘family’ or ‘team’ feeling here”.
Another part of Google’s objective is to make its workplace feel fun. Massage chairs, table tennis tables, video games, lava lamps, hammocks, beanbags, bicycles, large rubber balls, couches, and scooters are all part of the furniture in Google offices.
However, when it comes to the serious business of work, great emphasis is placed on engaging employees. “What makes Google a great workplace is that the nature of the work itself is very challenging and interesting,” says Nick Creswell, the company’s university programmes manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “And for the type of people who really enjoy an intellectual challenge, that’s the biggest appeal of working here.”
Fostering this intellectual activity is a policy giving employees a large degree of independence in deciding how to work – both in terms of the hours they work and how they do their jobs. “There’s a real culture of autonomy and empowerment,” says Mr Creswell. “Individuals within the business understand what their own goals are within the context of their teams, and they have a lot of freedom to go out and make those happen.”
Even when it comes to learning and development, many programmes are voluntary and informal. Often it may be a case of inviting university faculty in to discuss their latest research. Some programmes may not even directly relate to employees’ work, such as the Authors@Google series, through which prominent writers are invited to give lunchtime talks about their books.

Siksè kapab yon jwèt ak anpil jwè yo.
Youn nan efè segondè yo nan manje a gratis pou anplwaye Google se sa ki rele "Google 15 nan" - ki kantite liv ke anplwaye tipikman jwenn apre rantre nan konpayi an entènèt. Men, si wi ou non li se bay ti goute ak manje goumè nan kantin lan, vwayaj ski anyèl oswa jwèt chanm nan biwo a, filozofi a dèyè avantaj sa yo se menm -. Ankouraje anplwaye al kontre youn ak lòt, kominike nan anviwònman enfòmèl epi ankouraje travay ann ekip
Youn nan fason a Konpayi an fè sa ki sa a se yo kenbe konpetisyon nan tout bagay soti nan biwo dekorasyon danse ak foutbòl, ak prim pou ganyan yo. Manadjè resevwa tou yon chak trimès "selebrasyon fon" nan rekonpanse reyalizasyon swa, oswa yo bati travay ann ekip pa ale bowling, ale-kart oswa manje deyò.
Sondaj la Pi bon milyeu endike ke inisyativ sa gen yon efè ki pwisan. Nan Google Itali, pou egzanp, 90 pousan nan anplwaye yo te dakò ke "moun selebre evènman espesyal alantou isit la." Epitou nan peyi Itali, 100 pousan te dakò ke "sa a se yon kote ki zanmitay nan travay", ak 96 pousan te dakò ke "gen yon 'fanmi' oswa 'ekip' santi isit la."
Yon lòt pati nan objektif Google a se fè travay li yo plezi santi. Chèz masaj, tab tenis tab, jwèt videyo, lanp lav, Hammocks, ti sak pwa, bisiklèt, voye boul gwo kawotchou, bankèt, ak scooters, yo tout yon pati nan mèb an nan biwo yo nan Google.
Sepandan, lè li rive nan biznis la grav nan travay, gwo se anfaz mete sou angaje anplwaye yo. "Ki sa ki fè Google yon gwo espas travay se ke nati a nan travay nan tèt li se trè enteresan ak defi," se sa di Nick Creswell, konpayi an nan pwogram inivèsite manadjè pou Ewòp, Mwayen Oryan an ak Lafrik. "Se pou ki kalite moun ki vrèman renmen yon defi entelektyèl, sa a, se apèl la pi gwo nan k ap travay isit la."
Ankouraje aktivite entelektyèl sa a se yon politik bay anplwaye yon gwo degre nan endepandans nan n ap deside ki jan yo travay - tou de an tèm de èdtan yo yo travay ak ki jan yo fè travay yo. "Genyen yon kilti reyèl nan otonomi ak dwa," di Mesye Creswell. "Moun ki nan biznis la konprann ki sa objektif pwòp yo yo se nan yon kontèks de ekip yo, epi yo gen yon anpil nan libète yo ale deyò epi yo fè sa yo rive."
Menm lè li rive aprann ak devlopman, pwogram anpil ladan yo volontè ak enfòmèl. Anpil fwa li kapab yon ka ta gen fakilte a inivèsite nan envite yo diskite sou dènye rechèch yo. Gen kèk pwogram ka pa menm gen rapò dirèkteman nan travay anplwaye yo, tankou Otè yo @ seri Google, nan ki ekriven enpòtan ki envite nan bay ansanm ak tout moun chita pale sou liv yo.
