Recently, I blogged about the "Best Places to Launch Your Career" survey that Business Week released. Throughout the next year, I will select companies from that list and explain why I think their company culture's are conducive to YP's.
So what makes BearingPoint a great place to work for young professionals? In short, a professionally casual work environment and a dedication to employee development.
Employees at BearingPoint are given flexplace/telecommuting options that allow them to work from an office closer to home, or regularly work from a home office. Further, compressed workweek options allow employees to work four 10hr days to give them an extra day off.
Young professionals are also given the opportunity to work on projects with senior leadership in a way that they can contribute, and also learn from the company's leaders. This is a tremendous opportunity for YP's, and in my opinion can be one of the most important strategies for employee development.
If that isn't enough, they have collaborated with the Yale School of Management to offer a dedicated Leadership Program for BearingPoint employees. This is a unique partnership between a university and corporation to have a specific curriculum dedicated to improve their employee's contribution to the company.
Lastly, to better reach and connect with YP's, BearingPoint created a Facebook page that offers videos, RSS feeds, and fan comments. Since the internet is often the first point of contact for potential employees, this is a great step to capture the job seeker's attention.
BearingPoint has taken deliberate steps to create a culture that inspires and challenges young professionals. As a result, the company boasts low turnover rates and a strong recruiting pipeline.
