Managers often tell me they only want to hire people who will come to work every day: well, sure, but it’s not like they don’t have something to do with that. They want people who have a good work ethic and the employee wants a good work environment: the two work together or not at all. I think new employees are generally positive and optimistic, excited to start their new jobs, and hoping that it will work out. Those first few days, some call it on-boarding, set the tone for their perceptions and overall attitude: supervisors are the makers and keepers of that tone. That’s why it’s so important that supervisors act the way they want their employees to act: open, honest, positive, supportive, attentive, loyal, interested, flexible, punctual… you get the idea. A workplace shared with a friendly supervisor feels like a good place to be – they go together to create the work environment. Make work someplace you and your employees want to be, every day, and they’ll be there. That’s what it takes to get their dedication and loyalty, today, and every day.
A proverb is a simple, concrete, traditional saying that expresses a truth based on common sense or experience
