In Monday’s message I suggested that if you don’t treat employees well, they’re apt to be disengaged and end up focusing mostly on their wages, which won’t, in their opinion, ever be enough. To them, it’ll all be about the money. Not the work.
Connecting this with the last two messages, the ROI for treating employees well is that they’ll be emotionally invested, as in they’ll feel and act like an owner. All in on making whatever they do the best. Not satisfied unless the company is best in breed. Loving that what they do matters.
It seems so simple as I write this, but I know a lot of companies that don’t get it. I think that’s called penny wise and pound foolish.
· If that’s the case (where you work), take it upon yourself to make this kind of culture work in your department by focusing on your employees. Starting during onboarding and every day thereafter. Training, coaching, recognizing, and appreciating. Being engaged to get them engaged. You’ll look like a star.
· And if your company does get it – double down and really make it work in your department.
Either way, get engaged and get y0ur employees emotionally invested today.
