Forbes: Memphis #3 Happiest City To Work In

1/29/2013

 
Yet another positive pr hit for Memphis! Forbes and its research partner CareerBliss recently put out updated lists of  The Happiest and Unhappiest Cities To Work In. Memphis made the list of HAPPIEST behind Dayton, Ohio; Knoxville, TN; and Honolulu, HI; and just ahead of Pittsburgh, PA. 

Employees all over the country were asked to evaluate ten factors that affect workplace happiness. Those include one’s relationship with the boss and co-workers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and control over the work done does on a daily basis. They evaluated each factor on a five-point scale and also indicated how important it was to their overall happiness. The numbers were combined to find an overall rating of employee happiness for each respondent, and then they were sorted by geographic location to find the happiest and unhappiest cities for employees.
