Everyone knows Google‘s reputation as being a great place to work, as outlined by the movie The Interns. It’s fun, colorful, and has a number of great benefits. Well now there’s an internal team at Google that’s aiming at making it an even better place to work. The study is basically aimed at finding out what makes employees happy, efficient, and successful. Not only that, but the study is supposed to continue for up to 100 years!

Google’s Senior VP for People Operations, Laszlo Bock, detailed the study in a guest article for the Harvard Business Review. The plan is to take anonymous surveys of 4000 employees. The study is only in its second year, but Bock says that most people fall under one of two categories: the “segmentors” or the “integrators”. Segmentors, who represent 31%, are able to cut off their outside concerns at work, and integrators are worried about what’s happening at work, and often wish they were segmentors.


This problem is apparently one that many Google employees face, and Google is currently looking into ways to help those employees out. Google isn’t 100% sure what they’ll find out through the study, but they definitely hope to find out more about employee engagement.
