Google's goal is ''to strip away everything that gets in our employees' way.''
But for companies looking to hang on to talent, office contentment may have the most to do with people. Brock Boyd, president and CEO of Career Management Inc., a Vienna, Va., search firm, says the first question his firm asks candidates is "What's the main thing driving you to look around?"
At the top of the list: their boss.
Boyd, himself a boss of seven employees, says he prefers to be in nice office space, "but it's not very high on my totem pole." His employees seem not to be much affected by improvements, either. "Right now we're probably in the best space we've been in, but I don't think they've noticed," Boyd says.
