7 qualities of an employer of choice

When employees feel connected to their employer, they tend to be more engaged and productive at work. That’s why employers should take an active role in getting to know their team on a personal level, beyond job titles and skillsets. An employer of choice is one that can create a genuine bond with its employees by having effective communication, setting achievable goals, and providing an environment that respects all employees equally.

That bond also makes it easier for your employees to approach you when they need you because that barrier is smaller in their minds. Another thing that comes from it is honesty. If you build friendships and true trust with people around you, your team dynamic improves and the possibility of hurt feelings with feedback dramatically decreases.

When it comes to growth, development, and progress we like to say we know a thing or two about them. One of our values - We’re lifelong learners. - speaks directly to the fact that your employer needs to offer as many opportunities for growth as possible. Because of that, we have platforms like T:University and T:performance which focus on learning, development, and growth.

Giving you opportunities for growth isn’t enough for an employer. They need to be able to learn and develop themselves. We’re lifelong learners is applicable to each and every level and position in Transcom because our goal is to level ourselves up every day. 

An employer should be able to have employees leaning on them when needed. There’s nothing worse than an employer that‘s quick to throw you into the fire when things get dicey. At Transcom we live by the value We’re team players. This is our most simple value but one that’s extremely important.

We expect our employees to have each other’s back, to support and help, to sometimes just be there for each other. This isn’t limited to them. We firmly believe that it is our duty as an employer to stand behind our employees and work together with them as a team.
