What do you think are the top factors of a “good job”. I want my employees to say “I love my job”. But what can I do to make that happen. Bonuses? Work life balance? Mentorship? Tell me all the things you want.

What I want and what your employees want may be 2 different things. The jobs that I have loved have always been flexible and predictable.

So true!

I think what most employers want is to be taken seriously. To have their work considered and not dismissed casually, and to feel like they're part of a team and they have a future with the organization. That sounds fairly basic and simple, perhaps, but that sort of atmosphere can seem elusive.

Yes love this

All of the above. Treat your employees like people, which means that sometimes people get sick, or some might benefit from more flexibility than others. Flexibility, especially the ability to work from home as often as I want, is the reason why I personally love my job.

Amazing! Agreed

Compensation, work life balance and the opportunity to grow. Pay your people well, respect their time and professional abilities, and give them the chance to do impactful work. Everything else is fluff.

I wish I had more control over compensation! But yes to all

Value employees by paying them above the market average. They'll not only love their jobs, they'll be loyal and dedicated to them. Offer them a WFH option as well 👍🏻

Compensation is huge for me, but not the only thing. I believe people take jobs because of the salary, they leave because of their bosses. Other than compensation, I think developing leadership skills in your supervisors is big factor in employee happiness. I’ve had some awful roles in the past but I believed in my leader and my team and have fond memories of the work.

I don’t have a ton of control over compensation but I can still ensure they get bonuses and promotions

I wish I could offer them wfh!

The fact that you’re thinking about how to make your employees lives more enjoyable (esp in an age where it feels like companies are doing the opposite) is highly admirable!

For me: Work/life balance, support when needed, environment is a safe space and ofc compensation :)

Also, do you have a lever to pull on equity? I’ve been granted either options or RSU (restricted stock units) in all of my jobs based on performance. Definitely kept me motivated!

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
