Inspiration: Google it!

Last Thursday, in the class of “Plan de Vida y Carrera”, we saw a video of how a Google company works. I found very interesting and relevant because it explained how Google make their employees feel comfortable and inspired.

First of all, I want to make clear that Google is a company that is compromised with the world and with sustainable development. In order to transport employees, the company has buses that take the workers from the company to their homes and vice versa. They also have bicycles that can be used by anyone who works at Google.
The company has little gardens to promote plant care in his workers.

Google does everything to make their employees feel inspired enough to create amazing things. Some of those things are: having available food for the (at any time, any place, and any kind); letting them wear whatever they want and however they feel at ease; allowing employees to bring their pets (except cats); allowing them to decorate their office as crazy as they can, so they feel happy. Google also provides flextime and they can even work at home if they cannot go to the office.

We all know that Google is one of the most amazing and successful companies in the world. It’s no coincidence that the employees work that good only because they are excellent engineers or because they are geniuses, it’s because Google provides them all the tools to be that.

I truly believe that Google is doing a great job by being such an incredible company. It’s generating money, it has compromise with society and nature, it satisfies the needs of many of us (YouTube, blogger, Gmail, etc.) and it is one of the best companies ever.
