????無論是全球集團(tuán)企業(yè)，還是硅谷企業(yè)初創(chuàng)企業(yè)的人力資源專業(yè)人士都會認(rèn)同一點(diǎn)，讓員工持續(xù)獲得激勵（同時保持滿意）是一個永恒的挑戰(zhàn)。但我們選出的這些公司不標(biāo)明，它并非不可能完成的任務(wù)。在《財(cái)富》雜志進(jìn)行美國中小企業(yè)最佳雇主50強(qiáng)第二次年度評選時，我們邀請Great Place to Work的合作伙伴，秉持《財(cái)富》“最適宜工作的100家公司”榜單相同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，遴選出了一批成功地打造了出類拔萃的文化和出色的工作環(huán)境的美國中小企業(yè)。雖然它們提供的待遇可能大同小異，比如股票期權(quán)、免費(fèi)食物、瑜伽課程以及通常慷慨的福利計(jì)劃，但有一項(xiàng)重大差異是:這些公司的員工人數(shù)都不到1,000人。

????Keeping employees motivated (and satisfied) is an eternal challenge, as HR professionals from the biggest global conglomerates to the newest Silicon Valley startups will attest. But as these companies show, it's not impossible. In our second annual ranking of the 50 Best Small and Medium-Size Companies to Work For, we asked our partners at Great Place to Work to determine the top small businesses in the U.S. that have created unique cultures and great workplaces on par with those that appear on our 100 Best Companies list. Though the perks may be similar -- stock options, free food, yoga classes, and unusually generous benefits programs -- there's one big difference: They have under 1,000 employees.
