You've Got a Great Employer

But executives at well-run businesses care not only about their employees, but their employees' careers. And they're usually willing to help the professional chops of a top worker — despite the risk that a rising star may jump to the top spot at another company.

"Some people think the definition of a great employer is [workers] staying there 20 years, but that's not necessarily true," argues Briggs. For any number of professional and personal reasons, it may "simply be time to move on." Briggs says leaving a company with an enhanced collection of skills — and with a sense of accomplishment and growth — is an absolute sign "that you had a great employer."
