SAS has perfected the art of employee
management. It has been ranked on Fortune magazine’s best places to
work list every year since the list was first published. Employees
seem to genuinely enjoy working at SAS and are unusually attached
to the company, resulting in a turnover rate that is less than 4%
in an industry where 20% is the norm. In fact, when Google designed
their own legendary campus in California, they visited the SAS
campus to get ideas.
One thing SAS does well is giving
its employees opportunities to work on interesting and challenging
projects. The software developers have the opportunity to develop
cutting-edge software to be used around the world. The company
makes an effort to concentrate its business in the areas of
analytics, which add the most value and help organizations best
analyze disparate data for decision making, creating opportunities
for SAS workers to be challenged. Plus, the company removes
obstacles for employees. Equipment, policies, rules, and meetings
that could impede productivity are eliminated.
The company has a reputation as a pioneer when it comes to
the perks it offers employees, but these perks are not given with a
mentality of “offer everything but the kitchen sink.” There is
careful thinking and planning behind the choice of perks the
company offers. SAS conducts regular employee satisfaction surveys,
and any future benefits and perks offered are planned in response
to the results. The company wants to eliminate stressors and
anything that dissatisfies from people’s lives. To keep employees
healthy and fit, there are athletic fields; a full gym; a swimming
pool; and tennis, basketball, and racquetball courts on campus.
Plus, the company offers free on-site health care for employees,
covers dependents at their fully staffed primary medical care
centre, and offers unlimited sick leave. The company understands
that employees have a life and encourages employees to work
reasonable hours and then go home to their families. In fact, a
famous motto in the company is, “If you are working for more than 8
hours, you are just adding bugs.” SAS is truly one of the industry
leaders in leveraging its treatment of people for continued
business success.
