小公司就职的那些优势.

　　不管是刚走出校门的毕业生还是身在职场人士，选择大公司还是小公司就职一直是一件有争议的事，大公司当然有大公司的好处，但不可否认小公司的又是也有很多，在小公司就职优势最大的就是有强烈的幸福感。下面我们一起来聊聊在小公司就职有哪些优势?

　　Studies have shown that the happiness of a person in their job starts to decrease dramatically after the firm passes one hundred employees. What is it about small companies that makes us so happy? I can’t tell you the number of entrepreneurs that went to found their own business because life at the big company basically sucked. Opportunities you spent years building up to — gone. Credit for your forts — nowhere. A feeling of value in the machine — hell no. My personal experience in co-founding Twoodo and knowing many people who made the switch over the years adds substance to the hypothesis.

　　调查显示，当公司人数超过100时，员工在工作上的幸福指数就会急剧下降。那究竟是什么原因让小公司的员工如此幸福呢?我不想告诉你大公司里有多少员工因为工作不顺心而自立门户。我想说的是那些你兢兢业业的日子会一去不返。你辛勤耕作的果实不复存在。在这个企业里的存在价值也烟消云散了。我有合伙创办 Twoodo的真实经历，也看惯了人们几年后离职换岗，这都给前面的假说提供了论证。

　　It used to be that large companies offered security and perks that small companies couldn’t live up to. However, those old stereotypes are disappearing as small companies (past the early stage of development) are stepping up with equal or better contracts.

　　过去，大公司所提供的保障和福利是小公司难以企及的。但是这已成为过去，因为小型公司(过了最初的发展阶段)已开始签订相同甚至更好的劳务合同了。

　　What is a “small company” anyway?

　　There’s the micro company (1 – 10 employees) and then the small company (<50 employees) (European Union). In the USA it depends more on the firm turnover.

　　到底什么才是“小型公司”?

　　有微型公司(1-10名员工)和小型公司(员工少于50人)(欧盟)。在美国，这更多地取决于公司营业额。

　　What makes small companies so successful at being great places to work?

　　The secret sauce for a great small company seems to be how it is managed. Logically, it is easier to properly manage a small group of people than a large group. Here’s a table from another study that dined five statements that impacted on employee satisfaction .

　　在营造工作氛围方面，小公司为何能做得如此成功?

　　这个秘诀可能就在于它的管理了，要想把小公司管理得恰到好处可比大公司容易。下面的这份调查就揭示了影响员工满意度的5个因素。

　　1) Working here is informal and relaxed.

　　2) Working here is like being part of a team/family.

　　3) Company success is shared by all employees.

　　4) I would leave this company if offered another/similar job.

　　5) Employees are treated fairly by management.

　　1.小公司工作随意轻松。

　　2.小公司工作有归属感。

　　3.员工能够分享成功的喜悦。

　　4.遇到另外的/相似的工作，我可以轻易离职。

　　5.领导对所有员工都一视同仁。

　　The conclusions from this show that people generally:

　　don’t want a highly-formalized workplace.

　　have an emotional need to feel like an integral part of the success of the company.

　　need to feel appreciated and close to their work colleagues.

　　react well if they perceive management to treat everyone equally.

　　这个结论同时也表示人们总体上：

　　不喜欢特别规范的工作环境。

　　在情感上渴望成为团队的一份子，并能分享成功的喜悦。

　　心怀感恩，并想要亲近同事。

　　如果领导能够一视同仁，员工就会尽职尽责。

　　It really boils down to a question you must ask yourself every day: WHY AM I DOING THIS JOB?

　　总的来说你每天需要这样反问自己：我为什么要做这份工作?

　　Most of your (fully-functioning) adult life you are going to be at your job. It should be the perfect fit.

　　你绝大多数(全部)的成年生活都将在工作上度过。那这份工作完全有必要百分之百称心。

　　A survey of 200 UK graduates :

　　91% believed big corporations paid more.

　　79% felt they provided greater job security.

　　74% felt they offered better career progression.

　　这是对英国200名毕业生的调查访问结果：

　　91%认为大公司酬劳更高。

　　79%认为大公司的工作更有保障。

　　74%认为大公司的发展前景更广。

　　But they felt that SMEs:

　　encouraged creativity in the workplace (95%).

　　provided greater job satisfaction (82%).

　　encouraged a better work ethic (75%).

　　provide a better work-life balance.

　　对中小型企业的看法：

　　鼓励员工创新(95%)

　　让员工更加满意(82%)

　　倡导更好的职业道德(75%)

　　更好地平衡工作和生活。

　　Does management notice me?

　　Not only will working in a small company give you access to all levels of management, but decisions will be made faster and progression will be more visible. Your part in the operation will be more obvious and therore more motivating. You won’t be restricted by department or hierarchy. Ideas on the fly can be pitched and discussed without needing to book formal meetings with the boss-man. The inevitable variety of the job will also keep your mind stimulated (and improve your general learning capabilities).

　　领导会注意到我吗?

　　在小公司工作不仅可以让你接触到各阶层的领导，并且决策出得更快，前景更加可观。你在公司里的价值更易体现，因此你也会更加有干劲。部门和制度不会限制你的发挥。飞扬悦动的创意可尽情发挥，老板也不会让你安排个正式会议来特作讨论。工作中随时出现的多元化将成为你灵感的源泉(并且总体提升你的学习能力)。
