What makes it so great?
Who says video games aren't educational? At Telefonica Mexico, employees go through a three-hour interactive workshop -- "Living the Experience" -- to learn and practice the company behaviors and values. They play learning games and watch videos of the values in action, receiving a letter from the CEO and a trophy in front of the Board of Directors at the end of the process.
In hopes of increasing the company's social outreach, Telefonica Europe created a Volunteering Office in Germany. Teams and staff members are guided toward projects that fit their cause, allowing them to better give back to the community. That commitment to helping employees excel outside of their job description is what employees say is the norm at the company. Telefonica also offers job-sharing and on-site child care for parent-employees.
