Companies are increasingly realizing the importance of treating employees as partners in relationships rather than as paid help or as high-profile servants. And yet, not all companies are employee-friendly. How does your company measure up? Does it pay for cell phones for personal use? Would your company pay for you to go back to school? Don’t know? Curious? So is the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Questions like these are of vital interest to SHRM. And from the answers below, we are sure you will find something to think about when you return to work or when you are looking for a new job!
