Netflix Alters 'Keeper Test' In Corporate Culture Memo: Managers Now Ask 'Would I Fight To Keep Them?'
Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) has updated its famous "keeper test" in its culture memo, a tool used to identify and remove underperforming employees.
Netflix公司（NASDAQ：NFLX）在其文化備忘錄中更新了著名的“保留測試”工具，以用於確定和除去表現欠佳的員工。
What Happened: The "keeper test" is a method used by Netflix managers to determine whether they would fight to retain an employee. If the answer is no, the employee is let go. This test, a key part of Netflix's corporate culture, has been modified to include two new questions, reported The New York Times on Monday.
發生了什麼：網絡影視服務提供商Netflix的管理層使用“保留測試”來確定他們是否會爭取保留某個員工。如果答案是否定的，就會讓這位員工離開。據《紐約時報》星期一報道，這個重要的測試對Netflix的企業文化來說是一個關鍵部分，現在已經改進了兩個新問題。
The first new question is: "If X wanted to leave, would I fight to keep them?" The second is: "Knowing everything I know today, would I hire X again?" If the answer to either question is no, the memo advises that it is fair for both parties to part ways.
第一個新問題是：“如果X想要離開，我會爲挽留他們而戰嗎？”第二個問題是：“如果知道我今天掌握的一切，我還會僱傭X嗎？”如果對任何一個問題的回答是否定的，備忘錄建議雙方公正地分手。
The updated memo also includes a disclaimer, stating that the "keeper test" may sound intimidating in theory, but in practice, Netflix encourages open communication between employees and managers. The company also evaluates team members based on their overall performance, rather than focusing solely on mistakes or unsuccessful ventures.
更新的備忘錄還包括一份免責聲明，指出“保留測試”在理論上可能聽起來有些令人生畏，但實際上Netflix鼓勵員工和管理層之間進行開放的溝通。公司還評估團隊成員的整體表現，而不是隻關注錯誤或不成功的冒險。
The "keeper test" was first introduced in a 2009 memo, which was known for its directness. Since then, the memo has undergone several revisions and is now only five pages long. The latest version, released on Jun. 24, has been through eight months of review and received 1,500 comments from employees, according to the report.
“保留測試”最初是在2009年的備忘錄中引入的，備忘錄以其直接性而聞名。從那時起，備忘錄經歷了幾次修訂，現在只有五頁。據該報道稱，最新版本發佈於6月24日，經過了8個月的審查，並得到了1500個員工的評論。
Why It Matters: The "keeper test" is a key part of Netflix's corporate culture, which is often described as more akin to a sports team than a family. This culture has been credited with contributing to the company's success and has been emulated by other organizations.
爲什麼這很重要：“保留測試”是Netflix企業文化的關鍵部分，這種文化通常被描述爲更類似於體育團隊而不是家庭。這種文化被認爲是公司成功的貢獻，並被其他組織效仿。
Netflix's corporate culture has also been influenced by other industry leaders. For instance, Reed Hastings, the co-founder and co-CEO of Netflix, has acknowledged the influence of Jeff Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon, on his business philosophy. This demonstrates how the corporate cultures of major tech companies can influence each other and the wider industry.
Netflix的企業文化也受到了其他行業領袖的影響。例如，Netflix的聯合創始人兼聯席首席執行官裏德·黑斯廷斯（Reed Hastings）承認了亞馬遜前首席執行官傑夫·貝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）對他的商業哲學的影響。這表明了主要科技公司的企業文化如何相互影響和影響更廣泛的行業。
