2014最适宜工作的25家跨国公司

    15.美国国家仪器公司（National Instruments）

    收入：11.7亿美元

    总部所在地：奥斯丁

    员工人数：7134

    这家测试设备和虚拟仪器软件制造商的高管们都身居管理第一线。首席执行官詹姆斯•楚洽德被员工们称为“T博士”。他常常会与一线工作人员亲切交谈，也会经常出现在公司内部大大小小的会议中，以了解最新业务情况、传达战略要求并听取反馈。楚洽德的管理风格甚至有专门的说法：“运动鞋式管理”（Sneaker Management），这形象地描述了他特有的在公司内部与员工边走边聊、面对面的沟通方式。他说，他认为这是了解员工关切的最佳途径。在午餐时看到他与员工在公司餐厅聊天更是司空见惯。为了让员工的生活更轻松，公司还推出了内部诊所NI卫生服务中心（NI Health Center），可以为员工及其配偶或伴侣提供疾病的首诊与诊疗服务。一名员工称：“从企业文化到可参与项目的广度，可以说在国家仪器公司工作生活的几乎所有方面都是令人振奋的。我遇到的所有同事无不热爱自己的工作和团队。”

    15. National Instruments

    Revenue: $1.17 billion

    Headquarters: Austin

    Employees: 7,134

    Leaders of the test equipment and virtual instrument software maker manage on the ground floor. CEO James Truchard—known as “Dr. T” among employees—frequently drops in on staff and meetings throughout the company to keep apprised of the business, communicate strategies, and hear feedback. Truchard even has a name for his administrative style: “sneaker management,” which describes his characteristic walk-and-talk, face-to-face approach. He says he believes it’s the best way to keep in touch with employee concerns. It’s not unusual to find Truchard chatting with employees in the company cafeteria at lunch. To make employees’ lives easier, the company also features the NI Health Center, an on-site medical clinic that can serve as employees’ and their spouse or partner’s primary care physician. Says one employee, “From the corporate culture to the breadth of projects available, nearly every aspect of life at NI is exciting. I have yet to meet or work with anyone who isn't passionate about their work and team.”
