 Former Google vice president Adam
Bosworth, who headed up the Google
Health team, left the company to start
his own Web-based consumer health
service, Keas, Inc. The vision at Keas
is to help people manage their health
care online from staying healthy to
recovering from an illness.

CASE APPLICATION
Searching For?
It gets more than 3,000 applications a day. And it’s no wonder!
With a massage every other week, onsite laundry, swimming pool and spa, free delicious all-you-can-eat
gourmet meals, what more could an employee want? Sounds like an ideal job, doesn’t it? However, at Google,
many people are demonstrating by their decisions to leave the company that all those perks (and these are just
a few) aren’t enough to keep them there. As one analyst said, “Yes, Google’s making gobs of money. Yes,
it’s full of smart people. Yes, it’s a wonderful place to work. So why are so many people leaving?”
Google has been in the top five list of “best companies to work for” by Fortune magazine for four years
running and was number one on the list for two of those four years. But make no mistake. Google’s executives
decided to offer all these fabulous perks for several reasons: to attract the best knowledge workers it can in an
intensely competitive, cutthroat market; to help employees work long hours and not have to deal with time-
consuming personal chores; to show employees they’re valued; and to have employees remain Googlers (the
name used for employees) for many years. But a number of Googlers have jumped ship and given up these
fantastic benefits to go out on their own.
For instance, Sean Knapp and two colleagues, brothers Bismarck and Belsasar Lepe, came up with an idea on
how to handle Web video. They left Google, or as one person put it, “expelled themselves from paradise to
start their own company.” When the threesome left the company, Google really wanted them and their project
to stay. Google offered them a “blank check.” But the trio realized they would do all the hard work and Google
would own the product. So off they went, for the excitement of a start-up.
If this were an isolated occurrence, it would be easy to write off. But it’s not. Other talented Google employees
have done the same thing. In fact, there are so many of them who have left that they’ve formed an informal
alumni club of ex-Googlers turned entrepreneurs.

Discussion Questions
1. What’s it like to work at Google? (Hint: Go to Google’s Web site and click on About Google. Find the
section on Jobs at Google and go from there.) What’s your assessment of the company’s work
environment?
2. Google is doing a lot for its employees, but not enough to retain some talented employees. Using what
you’ve learned from studying the various motivation theories, what does this situation tell you about
employee motivation?
3. What do you think is Google’s biggest challenge in keeping employees motivated?
4. If you were managing a team of Google employees, how would you keep them motivated?
