Luring Top Employees to San Francisco
While changing jobs can be a big challenge and a stressful experience, relocating to an unfamiliar city is often an even bigger challenge. Salary and working conditions matter, but people considering moving to new cities typically have families or will have families. They also care about safety, neighborhoods, schools, libraries, restaurants, entertainment, parks, churches.
So introducing them to San Francisco by sending them off on a big tour bus with a bunch of strangers to visit the city’s landmarks is probably not the best way to go about enticing top employees to any company, corporation or organization. As corporate retreat hosts, we can instead customize a private tour to present the best parts of actually living in the city, while still showing off the Golden Gate Bridge and other well-known places.
Not many people move to New York City because the Empire State Building is there, and they don’t relocate to Paris simply because they want to see the Eiffel Tower. The landmarks enhance the experience of living in any given city, but they don’t keep anyone safe or happy. We offer experiences that include the famous structures and natural phenomena but don’t exclude the other advantages of living in San Francisco. Our private guides enhance the experience by adding historical and anecdotal information that brings to life the city we love.
San Francisco, like any metropolis worldwide, has its problems, including a large homeless population, crime and accidents caused by fog. We would do a disservice to anyone moving here if we pretended those things didn’t exist. We’re not trying to present our favorite city as a Utopia; we give an accurate but uplifting picture of this wondrous town founded in 1776. What better way to lure top employees?
