💚EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT💚 Companies rely on their employees to complete daily tasks, interact with customers and help achieve long-term business goals. Motivated employees value their efforts in helping the company achieve its mission, which leads to increased loyalty and enhanced production. Whilst working with a client yesterday on their employers view of their 'performance' concerns, we explored their motivation as an employee, and they gave me a lovely quote which will stick with me... "Don't treat me like a mushroom, and keep me in the dark" Many companies clam up and don't share information with employees. Keeping people in the dark breeds distrust and false rumors. By openly communicating with integrity, you build trust and with trust comes great things allowing your employees to shine! #employeeengagement #employeeassistanceprogramme #trust #communincation #leadership

I believe in the power of leadership that prioritizes both customer and employee happiness. A truly impactful leader understands that success stems from a harmonious balance between satisfied customers and fulfilled employees. The most effective leaders exhibit qualities such as empathy, communication prowess, and a genuine commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture. Their ability to inspire and motivate creates an environment where both customers and employees grow. Prioritize continuous learning, showcasing adaptability in an ever-evolving business landscape. Leaders who recognize the interconnectedness of customer and employee satisfaction, driving success through a people-centric approach are truly valuable. #HRPerspective #LeadershipExcellence #CustomerHappiness #EmployeeEngagement #PeopleFirstLeadership

If you’re afraid to lose your job, you’re probably afraid to do your job. Fear in the workplace directly affects employee productivity. Why? If you're unclear about how your performance is being evaluated, you’re less likely to put discretionary effort into your role, i.e. going above and beyond what’s expected. Oftentimes, the issue that organizations have with productivity isn’t primarily related to staffing levels but rather psychological safety and clarity around role expectations. Empowering decision-making, celebrating successes, and creating forums where employees can ask questions and share concerns openly are just a few ways in which leaders can reduce fear in the workplace.
