What makes for a great hire and a valuable employee? A Unicorn employee (not to be confused with a Unicorn company) is a rare breed, but once hired can bring immense value to your company. They raise the bar, they are a joy to be around and they go way beyond expectations. Wondering how to display unicorn like qualities? Don't be limited by your job title - just because you're hired to ensure the office runs smoothly doesn't mean you might not have a great idea on getting involved with social media or know of a potential new customer. Be curious, this will lead you to question things, you'll be eager to learn and improve - not only yourself, but the product and the service you are providing.
Like actual unicorns, they’re hard to find, but once hired, offer up enormous benefits in the workplace. To name a few, they shatter expectations, raise the bar for everyone and are simply a joy to be around. Unicorn employees can literally take your business to the next level.
