· Employees are like every other person you know.
· They want to be treated with respect.
· What’s so hard about that?
I don’t get it when companies say they don’t know what their employees want. Or why they’re not engaged. Employees engage with employers and brands when they’re treated as humans worthy of respect. Period! That’s a concept that’s been talked about, studied, and verified countless times in the past 40 years and yet some companies still complain about being unable to find or retain employees that are engaged. Those same companies often stop at raising wages, hoping that’s all it takes to satisfy employees. Come on: money’s not the issue! Of course, it can be if employees aren’t treated fairly, listened to, and treated with respect. This is where emotional intelligence fits into this equation – it’s the best way to let employees know that management cares about them. This is not rocket science! Show them you care and ask them to care too. You may be surprised they’ll then start to get engaged today.
