For many times I\u2019ve caught myself thinking about my dream job. What would I do every day that would make me the happiest employee in the world? I\u2019m talking about waking up on Monday glad about the idea of going to work, and not seeing it as just a <\/span>must<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, what if I told you it\u2019s possible to get it, and, surprisingly, it\u2019s not exactly about what you do, but where and how you do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being at a place where you feel helpful and appreciated is great, but not enough. A place where you feel truly comfortable and happy is all about people and environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having co-workers with potential to become friends and a workplace that seems like an extension of your home are the key to keep a great place to be around.<\/span><\/p>\n

Culture and Values<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve experienced a few job interviews recently, but, this time, from the company side. There\u2019s a lot of competent and well-skilled people out there, but it\u2019s not that easy to find someone with these qualifications who will also get used to our <\/span>Caker way of life<\/span><\/i> and, eventually, be part of our culture and have the same values as us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at Cheesecake Labs, we have some characteristics that define us as <\/span>Cakers<\/b>. Being competitive in the English Day, laughing at terrible jokes and  making huge sized omelettes as shareable snack are good examples of it. I know it seems simple and naive, but trust me, it\u2019s not that easy to find someone that\u2019ll get it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides our Caker culture, the values we\u2019ve been building are essential to everyone\u2019s wellbeing. Helping each other, interacting and talking as good friends are just a few actions that happen among us during work time that make every single one of us feel like home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Workplace<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People who tend to work for hours in front of a computer know the feeling of being stuck on a text, an algorithm or whatever one\u2019s doing. Being able to escape from your <\/span>work mind<\/span><\/i> for a few minutes usually makes everything better: ideas will be refreshed, you\u2019ll feel rested enough to produce better and, specially, you\u2019ll be more <\/span>willing<\/b> to produce.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s even better when you have a great place to spend these few minutes of leisure. A fun room with games, music, comfy couches and refreshing drinks seems like something that\u2019d make people lose a lot of time, but it\u2019s actually a fun way to relax your mind and go back to work with new ideas and a better mood. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Another nice thing to do is providing <\/span>alternative desks<\/b> around the office. The couches, pillows and silent rooms are always busy at Cheesecake Labs (and everyone has a well-equipped desk with a nice chair). Speaking for myself, I\u2019m a faithful couch club member. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a person who cares about visual references, chromotherapy and is a truly Pinterest lover, the office\u2019s visual totally matters to me. Using a decor, pictures, colors and furniture that speak for the <\/span>company\u2019s culture<\/b> make the place even more enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood Job!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking of wellbeing at work, to feel good about your job it\u2019s necessary to know if you\u2019re doing it right. Feedbacks and recognition are appreciated by everyone. Of course, it\u2019s not easy to hear something bad about the way you\u2019re doing your job, but try to not to take it too personally and use it to improve yourself \u2013 sounds totally cliche, but trust me \u2013  you\u2019ll improve your  skills  and feel a more satisfied person from the moment you start to do it. It\u2019s also nice to consider that if you were asked to do something in a better way, it\u2019s because the person who said it knows you can do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

While receiving good feedbacks, it\u2019s natural to expect a reward (besides the good feeling of having done something right). Companies that offer a good Career Plan and a fair monthly income usually encourage their employees to grow along while looking for a long-term goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides big rewards, such as promotions and salary review, having small acts of recognition (individually or collectively) – like prizes, dinners and office parties – to celebrate an achievement or a great effort are also nice and always welcome. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
