May 11, 2022: From "I wish I land a job somehow" at the beginning of the career, to wanting to exit the "toxic workplace", we have all experienced similar phases in life.
Gradually, with working at different places over the years; liking some and disliking others, we now know what to look for in a workplace.
Although everyone's expectation from work varies, here are five basic, but essential green flags that you must not ignore when looking for a switch:
Feeling safe
When working in a team, it is important that you feel safe both emotionally and physically. Always having your guard up does not only hinder your professional growth, but also leaves you exhausted. Therefore, working at a place that makes you feel welcomed and comfortable tops the list.
Decent pay and other benefits
Pay that is at par with the work and a healthy leave policy is a must otherwise, you would always be hot on your heels to look for a switch. Additionally, good medical insurance is also necessary; it shows that the company cares about your well-being.
Work environment
Work, even the one you love, can get monotonous after a while. Here is where the kind of environment you are working in, helps! The better you feel about being at the place, the better will be your work, and it reflects on the results.
Future
The job should not feel like a dead-end; working in a role where you see yourself growing in the future is a requisite.
Hybrid work mode
Not always does one like to travel all the way to the office, and neither is working from home fun, repetitively. In the era of technology, a workplace that offers you a flexible work mode is "the one".
