Decisions are hard, especially decisions that involve where you are going to work. It can be difficult to find what you feel is the perfect job for you. Someone needs to find a workplace where they feel like they belong. During the interview process the workplace might seem great, but it is hard to determine how good the working environment is until you have eyes on the inside.

Everyone wants to feel important at work. It is important to find a workplace that you feel individually special. https://bit.ly/3YehB93

Internal Environment

Internal Environment is important for a workplace because you want to find a workplace where people can work together and feel individually important to the company. Marketing91 explains how important an internal environment is throughout an organization and emphasizes how it affects employees behavior regarding the business.

Marketing91 points out a few things that internal environment can affect:

  • Organizational Structure
  • HR Environment
  • Value System
  • Corporate Culture
  • Labor Management
  • Etc.

An organization should know what their strength and weaknesses are as well as have a plan to focus on how to make those weaknesses better. If their issues fall within their employees or their management, they should come up with a plan on how to implement a better environment to have a healthy workplace.

External Environment

What is making an organization stand out to you aside from others? Finding a good workplace that has a good reputation within the company and with other companies is a great way to find your fit. There are going to be many different companies that essentially do the exact same thing within a surrounding area, so how are your going to differentiate one from the other when it comes to environment?

Studysmarter explains how companies with deal with external factors and how they continue to work despite the competition around them. “The external environment can affect competitiveness, budgeting, decision making, and the marketing mix,” (Par. 3).

Studysmarter lists different factors that go into a companies external environment including economic, demographic, and social factors. The website also goes into great detail of how each individual factor can affect the workplace environment.

What would the perfect workplace look like to you?

What factors of internal and external environment are most important to you?

I believe that any company can sit down and really dig deep into both environments using a SWOT analysis and finding ways to make their organization better starting from the inside and working outwards.
