特斯拉第一份员工手册:不是手册的手册,基本说的都是人话
提到特斯拉,它有许多个“首创”或者“与众不同”之处,这也让特斯拉在大众眼中显得非常“另类”。有意思的是,特斯拉成立这么久以来,一直没有内部员工手册。但美国知名科技新闻平台《商业内幕》(Business Insider)却泄露了特斯拉的第一份员工手册,其具体内容也是相当的“另类”。如果你在运营一个大型组织,那么能真正帮助到你有效领导的工具已经屈指可数了。领导者最大的问题和最重要的工作就是:设计和加强正确的企业文化。在特斯拉,这是埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)的首要工作。这是一份独特的文件,是纯埃隆·马斯克风格,它向员工宣扬强烈的抱负、职业道德和公司文化。
1、员工手册不仅仅是企业文化读本,它本身就是企业文化的一部分,而且是相当重要的一部分。特斯拉提倡重新思考一切,与众不同,这本员工手册无疑也践行了这一点。
2、说人话。通读下来,绝大部分内容,感觉就是马斯克站在你面前讲话,开诚布公,简洁明了。
3、高标准。文化是制度之上的制度,制度是底线,文化是高标准。
马斯克也意识到这份文件的风格独特性,所以他在Twitter中写到:“读起来是最差的还是最好的?“(Reading like theworst – or best?)
这是一本很有谈话风格的手册(在中国,华为的任正非先生也喜欢这种方式),但它并没有陷入那种认为谈话必须有趣的陷阱。对于外部人士来说,阅读它也很有趣。
1.五句话概括:特斯拉员工手册核心内容
1、重新思考一切,做别人告诉我们不可能的事
2、设定难以置信的高标准,每天驱动自己达到最高水准
3、以认为最快的方式处理问题,无限跨级沟通,核心要解决问题
4、大胆说出所有能帮助公司改进的问题,即便超出职责范围
5、生命短暂,特斯拉必须成为大家愿意主动起床上班的地方
2.这本“反手册手册“的主要特点
它建立并反映了企业文化。It establishes and reflects culture.
它有一个一致和适当的基调。It has a consistent and fitting tone.
它没有遗漏法规条文。It doesn't skip the administrative stuff.
它确实不同寻常。It's really unusual.
3.它建立并反映了企业文化
手册开始就写道:“我们是特斯拉(Tesla),我们改变世界,我们愿意重新思考一切事物。”(We're Tesla. We're changing the world. We're willing to rethink everything.)
这一点和许多硅谷科技公司类似,特斯拉手册也保持了这一主题,比如谷歌(Google)也标榜自己让世界变得更好(Make the world a better place)。
手册接着解释说:这不是一本传统的员工手册,因为“传统的员工手册告诉你,在你被扫地出门之前,你的行为有多糟糕。”(Tell you how poorly you can behave before you get shown the door)
相反,特斯拉(Tesla)的员工手册说,“我们更愿意制定极高标准,并雇佣优秀人才。”(We prefer to have incredibly high standards and to hire exceptional people.)
如果你想要另一种模式,有公司可以提供最低的可接受标准,手册上说,“你会在其他地方更成功。我们不是刻薄讽刺,这只是事实。”(you'll be more successful somewhere else. We don't mean to soundharsh; it's just the truth.)
你也许会喜欢,也许不喜欢特斯拉(Tesla)的这种表达方式,但很明显它清晰描绘了要表达的企业文化。
4.它有一个一致和适当的基调
这是一本很有谈话风格的手册(在中国,华为的任正非先生也喜欢这种方式),但它并没有陷入那种认为谈话必须有趣的陷阱。
当你在阅读特斯拉(Tesla)员工手册发现自己在微笑或大笑时,这恐怕是因为意识到它与其他公司的员工手册的不同,常规的员工手册要么充满了法律条文,要么看起来像是由一个委员会编写的。
虽然特斯拉(Tesla)员工手册攻击了大多数公司可能遇到的一些常见问题,但它的语气是一致的,并且采用不寻常的基调。即它不仅仅是设定期望的基线,特斯拉(Tesla)员工手册在“沟通”、“工作职责”和“目标和反馈”等标题下包括了如下内容:
特斯拉的任何人都可以,也应该根据他们认为最快的解决问题的方式,通过电子邮件或与其他人交谈,以造福整个公司。你可以和你的经理交谈,你可以和你经理的经理交谈,你可以直接和另一个部门的副总裁交谈,你可以和埃隆·马斯克交谈。
Anyone at Tesla can and should emailor talk to anyone else according to what they think is the fastest way to solve a problem for the benefit of the whole company. You can talk with your manager, you can talk to your manager's manager, you can talk directly to a VP in another department, you can talk to Elon.
“没人告诉我”这个借口在这里行不通。
'No one told me' is an excuse that will never fly here.
你的首要工作——每个人的首要工作——让这家公司获得成功。
Your No. 1 job -- everyone's No. 1 job -- is making this company a success.
如果你不可靠,这里就不适合你。
If you can't be reliable, this isn't the place for you.
‘‘你迟到了”是孩子们在学校里听到的话。这不是学校。
'You're tardy' is something kids are told in school. This isn't school.
5.它没有遗漏法规条文
特斯拉(Tesla)有一个单独的内部网站,员工可以在上面找到诸如“薪酬政策、用餐和休息时间、休息时间和休假政策”之类的信息。员工手册提供了所有这些内容的链接,但在最初的文档中没有包括全部文本。这是一个很好的平衡。既有法律要求,也有实际要求。
但这本《不是手册的手册》,(The Anti-Handbook Handbook)明确指出,这些宏观原则和预期才是最重要的。
6.它确实不同寻常
“当我们有这么多重要的事情要做的时候,我们不能把时间浪费在处理愚蠢的事情上。”(We can't afford to waste time dealing with stupid stuff when we have so many important things to get done),有趣的部分试图扮演好警察的角色,但仍然让告诉员工“确保你在工作中获得乐趣”(Make sure you're having fun at work)听起来像是一个模糊的威胁。因为,“如果你在某种程度上没有乐趣,你就会不高兴。我们不想这样。”(If you aren't having fun at some level, you'll be unhappy. We don'twant that.)
这本员工手册虽然没有完全删除,但也很少提及工作场所的主要问题,比如性骚扰(sexual harassment)、种族主义(racism)、多样性(diversity)或包容性(inclusivity)。
7.埃隆·马斯克的效率哲学
埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)此前还向员工发过一封邮件,谈到了如何提高工作效率的问题。以下就是马斯克给员工列出的提高效率七条重要建议:
1. 太多的会议是大企业的通病。随着时间的推移,这一现象会越来越严重。
所以取消一切大型会议,除非能确保为所有参会者带来价值,同时即便能为所有参会者带来价值,也要尽一切可能缩短会议时长!
2. 取消经常性的会议,除非为了处理一件非常紧迫的工作。一旦问题得以解决,会议的频率应迅速降低!
3. 如果意识到自己并不在创造价值时,那就请离开会议活动或是选择挂断电话。选择离开或挂断并不会显得没礼貌,让他人留下来浪费时间才是最不礼貌最可耻的做法!
4. 不要在特斯拉(Tesla)使用缩写或无意义的词语来描述对象、系统、流程。请注意,任何需要解释的事物都会阻碍交流,不要为了显摆自己是专家而这样做,我们不希望人们为了在公司工作被迫要去记住术语表!
5. 沟通应该经由最短的路径完成,而不是通过公司行政管理链条(Chain of Command),秘书转达、下发通知。任何试图迫使行政管理系统人员进行沟通的管理人员都应该自动离职!
6. 我们工作中问题的主要原因源自各部门间的沟通不善。解决办法就是确保所有人员层级的信息自由流动!
如果跨部门协作项目是这样的情形:个人贡献者要向经理进行汇报,经理需要上报总监,总监需要上报副总裁,副总裁需要联系其他副总裁,后者再与总监交流,总监再与经理沟通,最后经理再对做实际工作的人进行指导,过程中会有很多愚蠢的事情发生,将会导致组织僵化、决策迟钝和工作缓慢。
在处理任何工作、解决任何问题的过程中,员工应该可以直接进行对话,做对的事情!
7. 选择基本常识和原则作为你的指引。如果在某些特定情况下,遵循公司的的规章制度来做事显然是很荒唐的做法,那么这条规章制度就必须被修改或更正!
不是手册的手册(中英文对照)
We’re Tesla. We’re changing the world. We’re willing to rethink everything.
我们是特斯拉。我们正在改变世界。我们愿意重新思考一切。
We’re a high tech company unlike any other high tech company. We’re a car company unlike any other car company.
我们是一家与众不同的高科技公司。我们也是一家与众不同的汽车公司。
We’re different and we like it that way. Being different allows us to do what no one else is doing; to do what others tell us is impossible.
我们是特别的,而我们喜欢这样特别的方式。与众不同让我们可以做别人没法尝试的事;做别人告诉我们“不可能的事”。
If you’re Iooking for a traditional employee handbook filled with policies and rules, you won’t find one. Policies and rules tell you where the bottom is -they tell you how poorly you can perform before you get shown the door. That’s not us.
如果你在找一本传统的员工手册,里面都是政策和规则,那你在这里是找不到的。政策和规则会告诉你底线在哪里——它们告诉你,在你被扫地出门之前,你的行为有多糟糕。但这并不是我们的员工手册要做的事。
We prefer to have incredibly high standards and to hire exceptional people who enjoy pushing themselves to perform at the highest levels everyday. We want to surround ourselves with people driven to do the right things and act with integrity even when no one is looking.
我们偏爱做的事,是设定难以置信的高标准,并雇佣那些喜欢每天都驱动自己达到最高水准的人才。我们希望周围的同仁都能做正确的事,即使无人注意,也能正直行事。
Is this you? If so, we’re glad you’re here and we look forward to doing amazing things together. If this isn't you, you'll be more successful somewhere else. We don't mean to sound harsh; it's just the truth.
这说的是你吗?如果是,我们很高兴你与我们一起,共同完成令人赞叹的事业。如果不是,我们恐怕你在其他地方工作会更成功。我们并非有意苛求,但这就是事实。
Some of our High Standards 我们的一些高标准
If you’re reading this, you’re probably new to Tesla and have questions about how some basic things play out around here. Here’s what we think you need to know to get started. As for everything else, such as information about our pau policies, meal and rest breaks, time off, and leave policies, check the internal website or ask.
如果你正在阅读这本手册,你可能是新近加入特斯拉,对这里的一些基本情况尚有疑问。以下是我们认为你开启工作时,首先需要知道的事情。至于其他的事情,比如我们的付薪政策、用餐和小憩时间、休息规定、休假政策,你可以去查看公司内部网站或询问相关同事。
Trust 信任
We give everyone who joins our team a lot of trust and responsibility. We operate with the assumption that everyone will do the right thing, including you. The truth is some people have violated this trust or ignored their responsibilities. We won’t change our approach because of the few who have let us down instead, we let them go.
我们给每一位加入我们团队的人许多信任与责任。我们假设每一位同仁,包括你,都会做正确的事情。但事实是,有些人违背了这种信任或忽视了他们的责任。我们不会因为少数让我们失望的人而改变我们的方法,相反,我们会让他们离开。
Communication 沟通
Anyone at Tesla can and should email or talk to anyone else according to what they think is the fastest way to solve a problem for the benefit of the whole company. You can talk with your manager, you can talk to your manager’s manager, you can talk directly to a VP in another department, you can talk to Elon – you can talk to anyone without anyone else’s permission. Moreover, you should consider yourself obligated to do so until the right thing happens.
从公司角度出发,特斯拉的任何人都可以、并应该根据他们认为最快的解决问题的方式,通过电子邮件或与其他人沟通工作。你可以和你的经理沟通,可以和你经理的经理沟通,可以直接和另一个部门的副总裁沟通,你可以和埃隆·马斯克沟通——你可以和任何人沟通,而不需要其他人的许可。此外,你应觉得自己有义务这样做,只要是为了给公司办成正确的事情。
Job Duties 工作职责
It’s your responsibility to understand what’s expected of you. Your manager should explain your responsibilities and what's expected; however, if you are unclear at any time, ask. “No one told me" is an excuse that will never fly here.
你有责任了解企业对你的期望。你的经理应该向你解释了你的职责和企业对你的期望;不过,如果你任何时候感到不清楚,请直接来询问。“没人告诉我”是一个在这里永远不被接受的借口。
You #1 job - everyone’s #1 job - is making this company a success. If you see opportunities to improve the way we do things, speak up even if these are outside your area of responsibility. You have a personal stake in Tesla’s success so make suggestions and share your ideas. Your good ideas mean nothing if you keep them to yourself.
你的首要工作——每个人的首要工作——都是共同助力公司成功。如果你发现有机会改进我们做事的方式,即使这超出了你的职责范围,也请你大胆说出来。你与特斯拉的成功息息相关,所以请提出建议并分享你的想法。如果你的奇思妙想只是被藏在你的心里,那它们就将毫无意义。
Goals and Feedback 目标与反馈
You and your supervisor are encouraged to discuss your job performance and goals on an informal, day-to-day basis. If you would like feedback or any other input from your supervisor, take initiative and ask. Do not wait for your supervisor to initiate a conversation or for a company-initiated review process to get the feedback you need to perform at a high level.
我们鼓励你和你的上司每天不用太正式地就你的工作表现和目标进行探讨。如果你想从你的主管那里得到反馈或其他建议,你应该主动去询问。请不要等着你的上司主动来找你谈话或等着公司开始考评流程之后,你才知道如何在工作中达到高水准。
Safety 安全
Safety is really important to us. We want you to go home every day in the same condition you arrived.
安全对我们来说真的很重要。我们希望你每天回家的时候,都能保持当天来上班时的良好状态。
We believe the best way to create a safety culture is to ask the really smart people working here to use good judgment and common sense. This means:
我们认为,创造安全文化的最佳方式是要求在这里工作的所有聪明人,运用良好的判断力和常识,共同做好安全保障。这意味着:
Being safety conscious at all times.
时刻保持安全意识。
Complying with all safety policies and procedures, including wearing required protective equipment. (Trust us, if we’ve created a policy or rule, it’s only because it was absolutely needed. We don’t have arbitrary rules.)
遵守所有安全政策和程序,包括穿戴所需的防护装备。(请相信我们,如果我们制定了某项政策或规则,那一定因为它是必须的。我们不会做出武断的规定。)
Never performing a job that you feel is unsafe.
永远不要做你觉得不安全的工作。
Keeping work areas clean and walkways free of obstructions, especially in production areas.
保持工作区域清洁,保证走道没有障碍物,特别是在生产区域。
Communicating with others if you see safety issues.
如果发现安全问题,及时与他人沟通。
Reporting unsafe or hazardous conditions to the Environmental Health & Safety Department.
向公司的环境健康与安全部门及时报告不安全或危险情况。
Attendance 出勤
If you’re the kind of person who holds yourself to the highest standards, our “attendance policy” is exactly what you’d expect it to be: Be the kind person your team can rely on. Be here when you’re supposed to be here. We need you. We can’t get things done when you aren’t here.
如果你是严以律己的人,我们的“考勤政策”应该是完全在你意料之中:请成为你的团队赖以信任的人。请在公司需要你出现的时候不要缺席。我们需要你。我们在你缺席的情况下,有些工作是无法完成的。
If you can’t be here, notify your supervisor as soon as possible and talk about what’s going on. Your supervisor will be reasonable and respectful if you are.
如果你不能够出勤,请尽快通知你的主管,并告诉他发生了什么事。如果你这样做,你的上司是能够通情达理并尊重你的出勤状况的。
If you can’t be reliable, this isn’t the place for you. You’ll be asked to leave (and it might not be a choice).
如果你无法做到让团队赖以信任,那这个地方不适合你。你会被要求离开这里(这可能将由不得你来选择)。
Tardiness 迟到
“You’re tardy” is something kids are told in school. This isn’t school. Plan to be here on time, ready to start work when you’re scheduled. Traffic accidents happen, we get that they don’t happen every Monday during football season.“
你迟到了”是儿童在学校里才会听到的话。但这里不是学校。请按时到公司,准备好每日既定工作。交通事故时有发生,但不可能在足球赛季的每个星期一都会发生。
Sick Days 病假
If you're sick, stay home. Don't get the rest of us sick. Contact your supervisor by any means possible as soon as you can, ideally before you're scheduled start time. If you've accrued Paid Time Off (PTO) use it and you'll be paid for that day.
如果你感到不适,请待在家中,以避免将病症传染给其他人。请你在正式回归工作之前,尽快与你的主管联系。如果你已累积了“带薪假期”(PTO),可优先使用,你在家中休息期间的工资会照常发放。
Vacations 假期
We know you need time off so schedule it in advance, get your supervisor's approval, and then take it. Use your PTO - that's what it's there for.
如果你需要休假,必须提前安排好工作计划,并获得主管的批准。如果你有足够的“带薪假期”(PTO),请使用你的带薪假期时间抵扣。
Keep in mind that every vacation request can't be accommodated. Others may have already requested the same days off or critical deadlines may create vacation blackout periods.
请注意不是每一位员工的休假申请都一定能实现。你的假期可能会因为与其他员工的休假时间相重合,或与关键交付截止日非常临近,而被中断或另行安排。
No Call, No Show 不告知,就旷工
Our assumption will be that if you don't call and don't show up for work, you're a jerk, you better have a really good reason for not letting us know why you didn't come in or you're out of here. One time is enough.
如果你没有打电话通知公司,就旷工,那你就是个混蛋。你必须有充分的理由解释你不出勤或不在岗的原因。只此一次,下不为例。
Outside Employment 外部兼职
You may hold a job with another company as long as you perform your job here well and you aren't compromising anything confidential or proprietary.
只要员工出色完成公司的工作,且保证不泄露任何公司机密或损害公司财产安全,员工可以同时在另一家公司兼职。
We won't cut you any slack because you have another job - you will be judged by the same standards as everyone else. If your other job interferes with your performance, you may be asked to terminate that job if you wish to remain with Tesla.
我们不会因为你兼职另一份工作,而削减你的工作量——你与其他员工应该接受一致的工作评估标准。如果你因其他兼职工作而影响了在这里的表现,特斯拉公司会要求你终止其他的兼职工作,才能继续留在特斯拉。
Stupid Stuff 愚蠢错误
If you do something stupid, depending on the circumstances you may be coached and given another chance, or you may be asked to leave. We can't afford to waste our time dealing with stupid stuff when we have so many important things to get done.
如果你在公司犯了错误,根据情节轻重你可能会受到批评教育和一次改正的机会,也可能被要求离开公司。公司需要处理诸多重要事宜,所以不会浪费太多的时间去处理这些本不该发生的错误。
If you need them, here are some examples of stupid things people do:
如果你需要了解细节,请参见以下的一些愚蠢错误:
Stealing or deliberately damaging company property.
偷窃或故意损坏公司财产;
Disclosing confidential information.
泄露公司机密信息;
Harassing or bullying others.
骚扰或欺凌他人;
Physically hurting someone or threatening violence.
人身伤害或暴力威胁;
Possessing illegal drugs.
持有非法药物;
Possessing explosives, weapons or firearm.
持有易燃易爆物品、武器或枪支。
The list could go on and on. If you think you're the kind of person who might do something that could be on a list of stupid stuff, do us all a favor and leave now.
以上还有很多其他的错误事例没有被罗列出来。如果你觉得自己可能会犯下一些以上的愚蠢错误,那就请你主动离开,这对公司和你本人而言都是一件好事。
Fun 获得乐趣
Make sure you're having fun at work – meet new friends, push yourself in new ways, try new things. If you aren't having fun at some level, you'll be unhappy. We don't want that, we want you to work hard, love what you do and have fun.
希望你确保在工作中能够获得乐趣——在工作中结交新的朋友,激励自己改变处事方式,并尝试新鲜事物。当你觉得在某种程度上无法获得乐趣,你的身心是不会愉悦的。这绝不是我们所希望的。我们希望你努力工作、爱你所为、乐在其中。
Moral of the Story 以上指引的寓意
The theme of the above standards is simple: just behave like the sort of person you want as your co-worker. Treat everyone like you want to be treated. Tesla must be the kind of company where people look forward to coming to work in the morning. Life is too short for anything else.
以上工作标准,全部围绕一个明确的主题:在职场上,成为你想与之共事的那种人。请将心比心、设身处地、善待他人。特斯拉必须成为一个大家每天迎着朝阳、非常愿意去上班的地方,毕竟,我们生命都太短暂了。
Resolving Concerns 解除顾虑
We want to provide a positive working environment and treat people as the individuals they are.
我们期待提供一个积极向上的工作环境,并公平对待每一位同仁。
If you have a concern, please speak freely and openly with anyone you think can help evaluate and resolve the issues. If you aren't sure who to talk to, contact Human Resources. We will always do our best to provide a healthy, fulfilling, productive and amicable workplace.
当你遇到困惑时,请与公司能够帮助你的人自由沟通、公开探讨、解决困惑。如果你不确定可以与谁沟通,请联系人力资源部。我们将竭尽全力去提供一个健康、充实、高效和友善的职场给大家。
