Hireology's mission is to help businesses build the best places to work.  I recently posted my first video blog to explain a couple of quick tips on how I personally try to accomplish this.  The full video (only 4 minutes) can be found here.  Below you will find a quick summary.

 

To build the best place to work, focus on these 2 major areas:  office culture and hiring the best people.

To build a great office culture do the following:

1.  Identify your company's core values and use these as a guide for who to hire and who to set free.

2.  Clearly define your company's vision and share this with the entire organization (as well as vendor's and customers).

3.  Create accountability in everything you do.  People need to know what they are expected to do and that they will have to report their results.

4.  Have fun.  Celebrate successes (even if they are small) and you'll be amazed at how fast your company will start to feel like a second family.

A few pointers on hiring the best people.

1.  Focus on A-Players and be willing to pay a premium for them.  "You need giants if you want to move mountains."

2.  Hire people that are better then you.

3.  A-Players hire other A-Player because they like working with others that stimulate them intellectually.

Again, you can watch the video here.

Enjoy!
