Why google is the Top choice destination for workers?

What is googleyness?
CASE 3
#1 WHY GOOGLE IS CHOICE
DESTINATION OF EMPLOYEES?
Google is always high on "top employers" lists, and it's universally
considered to be a choice destination for workers.
Only the most qualified candidates will make it through the very
selective screening process. Googles HR department is People
operations.
People operations are where science and human resources intersect.
And it’s what keeps Google a top performing company
WHY GOOGLE IS THE TOP
DESTINATIONS?
Shraddhanjali Rao, Market HR Director at Google India, describes
the company as one with a diverse crowd of curious, talented and
passionate people.
“They build products for everyone, be it down the street or across
the globe.
We believe that great, creative things are more likely to take place
with the right culture,” she says. Her objective, she adds, is to ensure
that Google’s employees “find satisfaction in their roles, feel
included in their work, and have opportunities to develop and grow”.
WHY?
Speaking of building a culture, Rao maintains that it should be about
fostering continuous learning, agility and innovation.
“Our goal is that when a Googler dreams, together we aim to make it
happen,” she says.
To make sure that an employee gets the best out of the company,
internal mobility “is celebrated and encouraged”.
CASE POINT 1
What Google Wants in an Employee?
Looking for people who can bring new perspectives and life
experiences to our team."
POINT 2
Challenges, Leadership, and Smarts
Google looks for employees who can think outside the box and
create innovative solutions to problems.
Candidates who have a clear track record of taking on difficult
challenges and mobilizing the efforts of others to achieve results will
have the greatest appeal.
POINT 3CONTD..
A leader who can proactively advance your agenda
Also recognize when someone else in the room has a better idea.
CONTD…
Smart.
Google recruits employees who have displayed high intelligence and
who possess a fascination with developments in technology.
Technical skills such as coding matter for many engineering and
programming roles.
POINT 3..
However, Google prefers candidates with a broad base of knowledge
and skills, as opposed to individuals with deep expertise in a narrow
field.
Given the rapid rate of change in the tech sector, Google seeks
candidates with a passion for learning who can translate new ideas
into action.
POINT 4
Do You Have Googleyness?
CONTD…
Cognitive ability manifested by a capacity to learn
Intense curiosity
Innovativeness
Ability to adapt to change
Algorithmic thinking
Facility with writing computer code
Divergent thinking
Statistical analysis skills
Ability to mine big data
POINT 4
Another factor is “Googleyness,” or as it's more broadly known,
candidate fit.
Are you the right person for the job and for Google?

FOMBURN MODEL
Let’s say that a company wants to cut costs. If it has decided to achieve this
by reducing the number of employees, it can start to evaluate its decision by
considering the stakeholders’ interests. It considers the interests of employee
groups or the management before deciding.The company comes to the
conclusion that the above decision will lead to lower morale, decreased
motivation, and increased turnover among the remaining employees. These
could be the outcomes. As for the long-lasting consequences, the above
decision could impact the company’s reputation, profitability, productivity,
and bottom line.
Hence, the company may reach its goal by investing in training and
development. This not only improves the knowledge, skills, and motivation
of the employees (outcomes), but also leads to increased profitability and a
positive work culture.
Overall, this model helps HR take informed decisions while also considering
an organization’s strategic needs. By focusing on utilizing people wisely and
taking into account all the interests and factors, HR will be able to make
policy decisions that help reach the goals.

GOOGLE
Every company on the planet says, "Our talent is one of our most
valued assets."
Google says it too, “but we also give our employees far more
information than most companies are comfortable sharing”.
“We make them active decision makers and participants in how the
company is run”.
“We allow them the freedom to try new things.

• 20% of their work time to devote to projects of their choosing.
•That freedom has created great products like Gmail and Orkut.

TRAINING@HRM AND
HCM
HCM involves identifying the competitive skills employees need to
bring value to the organization.
HRM involves identifying the proper training techniques and
software to deliver the desired outcome – enhanced employee skills
and or knowledge.
HRM also involves tracking and measuring the success of training
methodologies and assessing what employees learn through their job
performance.
RECRUITMENT @HRM
AND HCM
Recruiting and hiring is another area in which HRM and HCM
complement each other but with differing objectives.
HCM involves identifying employees with the necessary skills
needed to bring value to the organization
Once these employees are identified, HRM’s role is to create and
manage a streamlined recruiting and onboarding process that enables
the organization to fill vacancies with the best people.
