CareerBuilder Survey Reveals Most Wanted Office Perk

Posted on by

If you could have one perk at your workplace, what would it be?

A recent CareerBuilder survey revealed that half-day Fridays, an on-site fitness center and the ability to wear jeans scored highest on their results. More than 3,900 full-time workers nationwide took part in the survey.

job satisfaction

We currently posed the same question, on our Eminent Social Media Facebook page, so feel free to go contribute your input and answers as well! We’d love to hear what perk you’re leaning towards.

In addition to that same survey with CareerBuilder- two more questions were asked.  ”How important is a title?” and “What ultimately entices workers to stay with a company?”

When it came down to the results of a title, 55 percent of the workers polled reflected that title wasn’t the most important factor. The top three to outrank job title were:

1. Flexible Schedule

2. Being Able to make a difference

3. Challenging Work

employee recognition

As far as, “What ultimately entices workers to stay with a company?”, the results weren’t too surprising. Here were the top three:

1. Provide Flexible Schedules

2. Increase Employee Recognition (awards, cash prizes, company trips)

3. Ask employees what they want and put feedback into action

We also decide to share this question on our Eminent SEO Facebook page – so stop by and place your input!

So I suppose, our ultimate question to you is, What determines YOUR overall job satisfaction? 

 

You can see the full list of the results from the CareerBuilder Survey on PR Newswire

Why You Need Social Media For your Business

Posted on by
1

Social Media is imperative for businesses online. You need to be where your audience is. And where are they? On your website? Maybe. Maybe not. But you know they ARE on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Typepad, Posterous, LinkedIn, YouTube or some other social site.

Did you know that as of September 2012 Facebook has 955 million users, over 42 million pages and 9 million apps? YouTube has over 4 billion views per day. Google + now has over 250 million registered users! LinkedIn has 175 million. Twitter 140 million.

Whoa.

Here at Eminent SEO we understand the value in involving social media as part of a larger scaled on-line marketing plan. Although we specialize in SEO, we believe that SEO without social is… well, dead.

  • Social drives direct, targeted traffic to your site.
  • Social helps you directly engage with your clients.
  • Social increases your product and brand awareness.
  • Social allows you to share your day to day specials, events, office updates and fun, more candid aspects of your business.
  • Social encourages people to share your posts, content and links – making your outreaches more viral.
  • Social increases your search engine visibility, helping your website rank higher in the organic search engine results.

In a nutshell: Social rules.

For years every online marketer has muttered these 3 words at least once, “Content is king”.

Is it still? Yes, more than ever! And what better way to share that content then socially for millions to see? Content can be a number of different forms of digital media from text to animated videos. Some common sharable content ideas:

  • Articles
  • Press Releases
  • Blog Posts
  • Newsletters
  • Images
  • Memes
  • Videos
  • Infographics
  • Audio Clips
  • Custom Apps

A properly optimized social media platform is a perfect place to house your digital content and give Google and the other engines another way to get to your site. By integrating your SEO strategy into your social media optimization your platforms have the opportunity of ranking on their own for your target keyword strategy. Why give Google only one website to rank for your brand and keywords when you could give them 100’s?

Here at Eminent SEO we believe in customizing your marketing strategy to incorporate social where it most benefits your business. We do research before making suggestions so we can recommend developing social profiles on platforms your demographic is already using. We then design, optimize, manage, network and boost your branded profiles for increased awareness. Social requires daily management in order to be effective. If you don’t have the time to manage your social media, don’t worry, we do! If you want to do the bulk of your social networking, but need advice, we can do that too. If you are interested in learning more about our social media marketing services – then click this link to visit Eminent Social Media and how we can help take your social media marketing strategies to the next level… or you know, just call us: 800-871-4130
