8 lessons on building a company people enjoy working for | The Way We Work, a TED series

[@HumansOfVR]

This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way

[@theluschmasterinc]

yaaaaaaas!!

[@SocPro]

This is a work of art. Love this series. Love Ted.

[@bangunajipurboyo7087]

Should I share this to my HR Manager?

[@LARKXHIN]

Send it anonymously unless the company email doesn't take outside commercial domain's emails.

[@sahinyasar9119]

nope probably your boss gonna hate you

[@sourcedrop7624]

No, this is good ideas. Bosses hate good ideas.

[@teriscallon]

yes!

[@salmasola5156]

I thought on the same but it’s not good idea at all 😅

[@sancho7863]

I own my own cafe and everything is so informal. I don’t even have job applications. I let my employees wear whatever they want and we take turns picking the music for the day. It’s awesome.

[@lala-rt4nb]

Can I work for you?😂

[@jenniferswanson5890]

These ideas work on small scale businesses, you're right but larger corporations have rules and practices to prevent lawsuits, so to control the operations of the business within leagal standards, ya know?

[@carprincess]

I love how you started off with people need to talk to other people like people. Like yes, that's the best way to work!

[@jenniferswanson5890]

Thought you were gonna say "yes that's the best way to talk" and end it there hahaha that would've been funny. Like "Don't start barking like a dog or oinking like a pig" lmfao

[@susskinsgamer]

"Beware of the smoke of nostalgia." That's a great line.

[@vefaosmanova4945]

So amazing I can say. 'The smoke of nostalgia' was really an impressive phrase

[@automotiverenderings]

I wrote that down it was so good!

[@girtsroze3781]

Lady, I don't know you, but I like you, words of wisdom.

[@WbMaxime]

Her glasses match her hair and her clothes and her skin and her eyes!

[@roykong7024]

That right there is stylish! I hate how the elderly always make excuses to their sloppy look, they always use their age as an excuse and nothing but it! Don't complain when younger people critisize your looks because of your age because that's what your are using when ever you don't want to put effort!

[@joshuaberkley6230]

Part of that is that this footage was worked on by someone who knows how to color grade footage as well. Not to take anything away from her style, because it was on point, but color grading footage can really effect how you feel while watching it.

[@vondahe]

That’s a good observation. I will never understand what makes people who clearly don’t take care of their appearance either place a excessively colourful scaffolding on their noses or die their hair in ridiculous colours. It doesn’t improve ANYONE’s appearance! This here is a lady and I bet she always looked great.

[@treelinktree]

I cannot believe this video hasn't gone viral (yet).Thank you for this post.!

[@Sam-ss2lo]

Finally, an HR professional who gets it. This advice will still be rellavent 20 years from now.

[@olexabilous]

Maybe, relevant...

[@trungnguyenvan7904]

I love this series so much. Sort, helpful and inspire me. Love TED.

[@greatteams696]

I couldn't agree more. It is always about connecting with the individual. My passion (& company is about Great Teams), when we get this right we create extraordinary places to work.

[@zatiemohd01]

I couldn’t agree more. As we all know, building a company that fosters a positive and enjoyable work environment is vital as it not only boosts employee engagement, talent attraction, and retention but also cultivates a culture of innovation and customer satisfaction. Such workplaces earn a strong reputation, prioritize employee well-being and development, align with ethical values, and often outperform financially, while also reducing legal risks, collectively contributing to the company's long-term success and sustainability.

[@zarinazambri7260]

Love this video ! Lots of good tips. I can say that this is one of the best examples on how to handle and treat the employees. Employer must treat them like an adults and listen to their ideas to make improvement or make the company better in the future.

[@syedkalam5781]

All entrepreneurs need to hear this.

[@smoothfrequency558]

Ms Patty McCord you have my vote for presidency 2020! Wooo!! ..That good thing you did, do that again.

[@jimcolleran1804]

Patty McCord is my new hero. She distills what makes a company that people love to work for into just over 5 minutes. Bravo!

[@sabrinamix]

I can't believe so much inspired ideias in just 5 minutes! Thanks Patty for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@wendysellers-thehrlady]

Love her view. So true. Treat people like adult humans (heck even teenagers have awesome ideas and work ethic, they just may need some training and feedback). Help people grow and they will send people to you even if they have left your firm!

[@deborahwolter2491]

This woman is soo cool! I am so inspired - she is an idol!

[@jazzplay7]

I sympathize with all the lessons, and I feel they really need to make the best workplace.

[@gregor.k]

Loved this! Great input and video length! Looking forward to see more of this

[@agustina0110]

I want to work with this amazing woman !!!

[@ancantiladodecaminante623]

I agree. Wish she was my boss.

[@triyantoprabowo8996]

Well, I can say this is one of the best Ted-ed of how we treat employees, yep we treat employees as and adults and let them express new ideas on how we can navigate the company better when they resign let them be company ambassadors.

[@emmanguyen3808]

I FALLL in LOVE with this video.

[@mihailstolz]

Great series, looking forward to the next episodes!

[@dcregeen]

Now this is the HR boss we all need!!

[@fromliamwithcare]

I absolutely loved this!!

[@patrickananas1999]

Really good video!! Informative and concise!

[@pierrelias]

Patty McCord, I look forward to listening to you latter this week

[@carolfraser]

Some resonates. Some doesn't. Depends on many factors. Still a good message.

[@jonritchy1413]

Change never occurs easily as a supervisor I find this the most uphill battle whether the changes for good or bad it doesn’t seem to matter or people want it done but they don’t want to do it

[@jenniferswanson5890]

Even 2pac made a rap song about this topic in the 90's lol - "Changes"

[@tkondor]

I really wanna share this video with my Operations Manager, General Manager, Assistant General Manager, Duty Manager, and 1/2 of the Supervisor staff :D

[@LvyPK]

what exactly is she saying at 4:06? Is she talking about the startup bubble?

[@SAVAGESISHC]

This is very good for students

[@robertkueffner7564]

Loved it! Thank you

[@Sam-ss2lo]

I'm sure she is doing fine, but she needs her own YT channel. There a very few people anyone should be taking advice from that they find here on YT, but this woman is the rare exception.

[@steffi.mp4]

Love this! Lots of good tips to think about :) I think this will be a good reference for the future and for those who are creating startups right now!

[@martaxo1625]

as per the video, startups are "stupid" in her opinion.

[@bestcompaniesgroup3824]

Awesome content. 👍

[@WeFirstTV]

Such an important video to listen to you!

[@huinili9553]

I really hope I can choose two languages of subscripts simultaneously, as it can help me understand the talks instantly and learn the second language.

[@DudeHomer]

SO MANY companies do NOT care about their assets, and by that, I mean their employees. I worked in corporate America for 45 years and can honestly say that I never had a job that I actually liked and looked forward to going to.

[@heididelatierra-yoga]

Thank you!! This was fantastic!

[@shyamleesingh2052]

She.... is.... amazing!!

[@limie9319]

Thanks for sharing this good content

[@leomcconnell3611]

“All startup ideas are stupid” - well then where do we start?

[@gehrkesopenbar]

Excelent video! Thank you very much. Simple ideas always work better. The Portuguese translation is out of sync for me, I could'nt find the way to adjust it...

[@hibak8196]

Same with the Arabic translation :3

[@nikkisanmiklein7358]

I wish I could send this video to my husbands former employer. Saginaw Control & Engineering could definitely use some tips, especially in the upper management and HR department.

[@Radicus]

Change can be also a disaster. When systems change, merge or go obsolete, for example, in hospitals, things will get chaotic. People don't get training, no one knows how things work, there are bugs, there are downtimes... Changes works somewhat painlessly in small companies, but in large companies? It's difficult and painful.

[@kboone8739]

What an awesome video!!!!

[@AndresLeonRangel]

A leader who makes sense...

[@rustyrose1959]

Feedback is not truth. It is based on perception, and someone else perception of you and your work. Another person may have a different opinion.

[@Jean980]

A: You came in a big late today huh? B: That's your perception Haha, sometimes feedback is biased. But sometimes it's completely true. :)

[@maimohamed3590]

Damn, this is so good 😎✨👌

[@DPIII1]

This was so good HR people take notes lol

[@chineseliuweis]

very good lessons

[@jacobopstad5483]

Nice tips!

[@윤형주-q8q]

Wow. You are pretty much young !! They are very good messages for me.

i want mix between data, project, infrastructure and health management at work, any idea for new position?

Awesome video

[@faraalcenat]

WOW THIS VIDEO MOTIVATED ME TO BE A MOTIVATOR :)

[@hillsea984]

She's so beautiful 😮💜❤💞

[@jaynerice6693]

LOVE THIS!!!!!

[@Fioren]

I linked it to my blog.

[@thehaziesthazel]

Which company do you work for? I want to apply for a job there haha

[@theluschmasterinc]

I know, right ..?

[@maillonferreira6426]

She works on Netflix. That's it.

[@danphuongngo9567]

So great, thank you:*

[@AtheistEve]

Lesson 1: convert your company into a cooperative.

[@youaremopped]

Shouldn't the goal be equality of opportunity as opposed to trying to artificially attain a 50% female representation on an executive team?

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

What about making the person leader who is the one with the most credibility and authority (not power, authority!) amongst the people they're about to lead? Quota queens and power-sucking narcissist "alphas" are the worst You can do for the performance of a customer-oriented company. Putting people in charge because they sport an XX chromosome set is a NoNo.

[@leoserpa14]

Yes, you're right

[@qwaqwa1960]

I used to think that Dilbert was an extreme exaggeration of a bad company, but my last gig was easily Dilbert Co.'s equal, full of uncaring, incompetent, passive-aggressive managers and support staff, broken systems, etc. I'm glad to be out of there, but still upset that such places actually exist, and that those people continue to have jobs and spread their "disease"...

[@TheNicoliyah]

My employer need a to this!

[@Echiya]

Run for President oh wise one... really girl. You are amazing.

[@TheChallengerOriginal]

I just saw what you keep on sharing some vidoes of some of your guests talking about the universe. I would like to share my theory that makes more sense than all those speculations of your guests that ended up not answering the questions. Its funny but i think I've got the real answer to all those querries that scientists have been cracking for decades about the universe.

[@theluschmasterinc]

trust me, it'll take a couple millennia for humanity to WANT to accept the truth ..

[@TheChallengerOriginal]

Their misconception of the earth is that they never thought the earth is a part of simething bigger, because we humans, thought that earth is yet the largest playground they ever stepped on. That's why they never consider other living organisms to exist on the other side. Its just a small playground to something that's what i'm sure of.

[@gordybishop2375]

Brilliant,,,if only they would listen, But it’s dumbed down for the few at the top to make it easier for them to understand

[@yiela_]

What does the title have to do with the last ones

[@maddavisdog07]

What if you were the manager at Home Depot. How could you encourage your team in an environment that makes me fall asleep as soon as walk in the door?

[@randellharrison3821]

Nailed it!

[@ilove2929]

My experience work with 6 companies with different shapes and sizes from private owned, global corporation, agency to start up, i agreed with her wholeheartedly except for the all start-ups are stupid-- because tech opens up new opportunity and fields to explore like uber did... Maybe some of them are stupid, but not all for sure.

[@plc6949]

I have Aphasia it's a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written. I understand the demands that have been put on you by work and your home life. They are an insistent and peremptory request, made as if it right to demand it of you. Like if you have no say in the matter. They wish you work hard and meet high standards. To fulfill, there need to have a variety and diverse lifestyle. Their demand is full of denoting a type of behavior and personality characterized by indirect resistance to the requirements of others and an avoidance of direct confrontation, as in procrastinating, pouting, and misplacing essential materials. They have a variety and diverse tactics of passive-aggressive. They avoidance extended contact and due to their lack of confidence, shame, guilt and a host of other negative emotions. They try to get you to fulfill their need to not feel less than and there need to be better then. In the work involvement, they will have as many people around you just like them. Have you seen friends and family members try these same tactics in their life? This tactic has been futile with you and counterproductive. Throughout history, the true slave was the master. The enslaved master thought less of them self and surrounded themselves with others that thought less of them self. The enslaved master intolerance toward those who hold different opinions of oneself. As the years pass the enslaved master became freer from there less them belief system of self. Have you noticed that equal right was about freeing the enslaved master from their diminished capacity system to believe in oneself fully? The free thinkers that have acceptance of oneself share their values of acceptance fully in all they do and say. Investing in oneself fully and complete is the only way to free the enslaved master. They will see you and hear you in all that you do. You will be showing them you can and know they can be free from their enslaved mentality. Thank you for investing in yourself fully and completely.

[@Galactis1]

I can tell you right now, 90% of businesses don't want to train people when the hire them. Or they do train them and it's not good enough.

[@DemonofChaos264]

That music in the background just makes me think of SpiritoftheLaw as he uses it in all his videos. What is the song name?

[@brunoslt]

Amazing!!!

[@tendayimashingaidze7577]

Totally agree!

[@camilla.magedanz]

Eu vim pela Conquer! 😅

[@enricouggeri9644]

Please answer, why nobody translate the audio of ted talks, just subtitle

[@maamriabassem3818]

You re just amazing...braaaavoooo

[@shayma857]

She is right!

[@goodwinpsaju6410]

Love tedtalk

[@davidgunneson5789]

So if you walk in the door and say that everyone is going to take a hard right, and then take a hard left, and everyone just does it without giving any feedback, how do you know that you are making the right decision? If you get nothing but negative and cautionary feedback, do you still plow ahead, even if you run the company into the ground? You can't have it both ways.

[@alphastrength3402]

Now we are the spectators, as always

[@pattheitguy]

Too much truth to be properly absorbed by those that need it most.

[@danilobucker]

Awesome.

[@bestsatisfyingvideos8895]

The boss should generosity and kindly.

[@michaelhenderson2657]

Adults also can take advantage of lenient policies...employees need structure to succeed. ..humans are different. ..employees are employees and not owners...they need structure and rules ... I am a business owner...not an employee..so i can be creative...a lot of people just want a steady paycheck and rules and structure..I guess you can have owner-employees but then you have to pay for their independent thinking. .

[@lmiya1661]

Yeah...ty for vid💖

[@anterior423]

I am new here Hope i learn a bit more . I am portuguese from Madeira hug to you💋🤗

[@meheh002]

I Love The colors! Is there a way to reach The producer? ;)

[@FabianoBirchal]

Nice ideas - despite her view about startups (not all ideas and value propositions are stupid).

[@manhlam7863]

If start ups are stupid, there would be no Facebook,twister, or sth else

[@lillmango]

I think that’s what she’s saying. Start-ups are meant to be something that’s fulfilling a gap in the market and sometimes ppl don’t recognise that gap or need until a company fulfills it.

[@joshuaberkley6230]

I agree with lillmango. People didn't think that personal computers would be useful, but Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Steve Wozniak had a different idea. Those folks were once just a few crazy kids in a garage. Everyone has the opportunity to change the world. The only question is if you have the guts to do it.

[@VictoriaGates]

Every new idea is "stupid" until it's brilliant. LOL
