In the days past, a good work environment was one where the coffee was free and the managers were more or less tolerable. Today, with good reason, the standards have changed and Opus\u2019 CEO Margus Eha notes that more and more companies are realizing that to attract top talent and to help people really excel in their work, they need to offer more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhat was amazing some years ago, is the norm today. And with that in mind, every workplace needs to adapt,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not just about the flashy or the material \u2013 fresh fruit, good salary, cozy offices, and lots of other amenities are of course still important, but on top of that, people are increasingly looking for companies with the right cultural values as well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The best results are achieved when people feel comfortable, they have the room to grow and to make mistakes, they can make their voices heard and work with like-minded people, and they feel secure and know that they are treated like adults \u2013 without unnecessary oversight or micromanagement. And that\u2019s something Opus, along with many other culture-focused companies, strives for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no one-size-fits-all option that makes everyone happy and each and every person seeks something a little different in the company they choose to work for. As such, each company curates its own values and offering. For some it\u2019s flashy skyscraper offices and other material things, that often mask other dysfunctions that tend to be more important in the long run, while others focus more on wellbeing, long-term sustainability, and employee happiness,\u201d Margus explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ideally, there\u2019s a mix of the best both worlds have to offer, whilst keeping in mind that certain perks attract certain people. For Opus, the core values offered are stability, freedom, room to grow, great challenges, and the possibility to work with people you actually like spending time with. All this on top of the core offering, of course, covering everything from a competitive salary and other perks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The most important task<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Margus noted that trying to find the company that best aligns with your values is hugely important, as this can make or break the working experience. To that effect, he recommends spending a great deal of time trying to understand what\u2019s important to you and what\u2019s behind each company\u2019s offer. Whilst most white-hat companies are open about their strengths and weaknesses, it\u2019s not uncommon for some to use dazzling to lead attention away from serious problem areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIn the end, the better you know what\u2019s important for you, the easier it will be to make the right choice. At the start of your career, it can be a bit difficult, but as time goes on and you get to experience the positives and negatives of different environments, the wishlist gets more and more concrete and checking boxes while doing research becomes easier, and the chances of making the right decision increase,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAt Opus, we see that we\u2019ve managed to craft an offering that\u2019s appealing to many \u2013 as exampled by our extremely high average employment time \u2013 and we\u2019d be happy to talk about it with you<\/a>,<\/strong>\u201d he said. \u201cWe promise to be open and honest, so if you\u2019d like to know more, get in touch!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
