Over the last few years, organizations have discovered that a great workplace culture has more to do with the little things that increase employee retention than almost anything else. Employees are made to feel an integral part of an amazing company. As the company moves from being “a place to go to work,” to “a great place to work,” it is their leaders’ people skills and how they relate to each employee that matters. Managers need to be seen as approachable and willing to listen to new ideas.
As I have identified with clients over the years, it is the word trust, along with its intrinsic meaning and the perceived value of the word that resonates loudest with employees. This is where the employees feel trusted, are treated like family, and are seen as a valuable part of the team. They know that they are a part of the success of creating the growth of the company, and they enjoy the energy and excitement that goes along with that growth. It is reinforced to them that they are making a recognizable contribution to the organization and it is celebrated. A high performance, forward thinking, motivational work culture is continuously nurtured. Needs are fulfilled and appreciation is shown.
