Just about everyone I know works to pay their bills. Most love what they do and many are proud of it too: but there are some who don’t and aren’t. During the most recent recession it was common for companies and bosses to talk about ‘doing more with less’. That became a mantra and people went along with it because it was ‘for the common good’. But as the recovery progressed and business levels started inching back to normal, those revised staffing levels became the new normal, and now that business is booming and unemployment levels have dropped to record lows, those employees feel taken advantage of. If you want people to be proud of where they work and what they do then you have to be sensitive to their needs and perspectives. The old maxim ‘people don’t care what you ask them to do as long as they know you care’ is still important: recognizing their efforts and needs is a big part of that. So, if you don’t want your employees to leave you now that jobs are plentiful, give them something to be proud of today.
