Quality of work life is becoming more and more important to employees. First, hire the right people and continue to develop their careers. An investment in upgrading the workforce is one of the best investments a company can make when looking at long-term growth. Second, most great places to work are very employee-oriented. Employees are given an opportunity for advancement and are not micro-managed.
