Employee involvement
Today, employees are less committed to the organization than ever before. Interesting, the pay is not the highest concern for the employees to stay, but it is the way employees are recognized for their total worth in the organization. Employees seek to be a bigger stakeholder in the organization. They want to be part of growth of the organization, to have their ideas heard and considered. If the employee is not part of the organizations plans for growth, dangling money in front of them is not effective enough to keep them.
Find the value in your employees now before it is too late
Great talent is hard to find. Top managers and CEO’s are looking for quality employees. One way is for them to go fishing in the competitor’s pond and reel in great talent because that pond is no place to grow. What are you doing to keep your A+ employees from nibbling on your competitors offer? Yes, good pay, what they are monetarily worth is an important security to keep them, but organizational involvement has proven to be more significant to keep them.
Do you hire liabilities or assets
Seeing employees as an asset to the organization, instead of as a liability will allow them to be stakeholders. Executive managers need to respect both the people as well as the process. By seeing the employee part of the success of the organization, they will become more loyal to the organization and not be tempted to leave. Giving respect to the great talent builds trust. Constant encouragement builds commitment to the organization and to the leaders.
The employee has “to feel the rewards that go with winning – in the soul as well as in the wallet.” Jack Welch
