181: Create the Best Place to Work, with Ron Friedman
Interviews are not the most effective way to select people, but if you need to do it:
- Standardize your questions
- Ask behavioral questions
“What underlies a great place to work isn’t access to perks, but rather experiences that are psychologically fulfilling.” -Ron Freidman
Three needs that we have to feel good at work:
- Being good at the work we are doing and able to grow our competence
- Being connected to the people around us
- Autonomy and choice in how we approach our work
“The impact of money on job satisfaction is incredibly small.” -Ron Freidman
