Welcome to Best Practices Exchange

This blog is tasked with the objective of providing meaningful content and creating a public forum for sharing profiles on the top global companies as employers and business thought leaders. We will research, review and share the best business practices from these companies globally.

Because it is my primary area of expertise, I will usually focus on business practices related to employment and human resources, although there is no strict rule on this that I intend to folow.

Personally, I have had the privilege of working for three companies that have been named to the Fortune Top 100 Great Places to Work list at some point in their organizational history. These companies will be part of the universe of business that I want to examine. However, they are not the only ones to look at for leading edge ideas.

I hope you will join me, and find the voyage an intersting one!

  1. This is really great, Michael, thank you for pulling it together. I look forward to hearing from our LinkedIn members about the common themes that characterize these companies. And, someday, I would like to see us begin a list of the best places in government to work. CIA has already made some lists that include public and private sector entities, and because I think it is good to encourage people to think of public service careers--and I think CIA is a great place to work--I would welcome this dialogue.

  2. THanks, Susan. I applied for the CIA once and made to the "received an application" stage before I decided to withdraw. I was a little thrown by the instructions, etc. I might feel differently today.
