Empowerment, flexibility key selling points for small businesses
Summary
But recruitment leaders at Object Partners and other small businesses that are ranked this year on the Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces list say it isn’t out-of-this-world benefits that are the main attraction for workers. “It benefits the communities we are involved with, but it also gives this sense of meaning to our employees.” Each branch of the bank based in Mankato does a different volunteer or donation activity each month, such as raking lawns and shoveling snow for homebound people who aren’t able. “That’s a pillar of our culture — giving back.” Object Partners, which ranked 32nd on the list, said its benefits strategy is employee-centric, including making sure to cover the basics such as health care. Object Partners, which has worked with a diverse set of clients like St. Jude Medical, Cargill and Room & Board, generated close to $20.9 million in revenue in 2017. Employees appreciate having autonomy and not having the layers of management that may be found in larger companies, said Clara Sponitz, Object Partners’ director of talent acquisition.
