Meanwhile, Medianet has been building some value of its own. The founders say hiring people with a passion for using technology to solve business problems and maintaining communication within the workplace has been a key ingredient in the company's growth. We partner with our clients and make their work our work, and that's the type of service that has helped us grow. Chief Operating Officer Saleme says the founders' technology backgrounds makes it easier for them to spot the kind of skills they want and allows them to be picky when it comes to hiring employees. Williams says the company keeps the internal communication lines open by distributing a bi-weekly company newsletter and by conducting employee reviews four months after the date of hire and every six months after that.
Communication is a key in running a successful business.
In addition to health benefits, Medianet offers stock options and subsidized child care. The company also provides recreational time, an onsite pool table and video games, which are intended to help its employees relax in the sometimes stressful world of technology. We try hard to make it a good working environment. The company also organizes Web developer forums regularly in an effort to give employees a chance to learn more about the technology they are interested in. The forums are designed to create an opportunity for employees who don't regularly work together to communicate and learn from each other.
