Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO
Tuesday, June 21st, 2016
One Atlanta company is among the best in America at attracting and keeping top talent, according to LinkedIn’s “Top Attractors” list.
The Coca-Cola Co. is No. 20 of 40 companies on the list, which was compiled based on job applications, member engagement, new hire data, turnover and more.
LinkedIn says of the beverage giant:
“Coca-Cola’s in the midst of change, streamlining its business and tweaking everything from its benefits to work practices. To move faster, the company cut a layer of management and tied regional units directly to headquarters, as CEO Muhtar Kent noted in a letter to investors in April. It also added “zero-based work,” resetting budgets each year so that they “must be justified annually, not simply carried over at levels established in the previous year.” The company’s on track to cut $3 billion in costs by 2019, which it says it will reinvest in marketing and innovation to spur growth. Coca-Cola employs about 123,000 and will soon offer six weeks of paid leave to all new parents, an idea driven by its millennial employees.”
While Coca-Cola is the only Atlanta company on the list, there are several companies on the list that have a presence in the area. Check out the full list here.
