the bigger picture. This is the foundation of long term retention.

2) Give Feedback

Do so regularly, being 

genuine, honest and

thoughtful.

3) Offer Professional

Development

Speak with them and find out  what they want most to learn. Encourage them to set personal goals and focus on where they are  heading and help them get there.        Employees like to know that you care about their future.

4) Say Thank You

Give both intrinsic and

extrinsic recognition — that

is, reaffirm your appreciation

for their role. A verbal

thanks from time to time

goes a long way, and pay

them fairly.

Four Simple Ways to Make Your Employees Happier

“People are driven as much or more by      intrinsic meaning as they are by extrinsic rewards.”

There is a very simple  secret to long-term      employee loyalty and   retention and it is not money, perks, or stock options. It's giving them meaningful roles.

Here is my list of four simple ways to provide fulfillment and a sense of purpose beyond the job for your employees.

By implementing these you’ll unlock the secret of long-term employee    loyalty.

1) Help them create a meaningful role.

Explain and remind the employee why their role is critical and how it fits into

Making people happy at their jobs is not as hard as it seems

TIP:

How to make people   passionate about their work?

Set High Expectations.

Those who care about the work and set a high standard challenge others to do the same. Remember to balance your approach– Knowing when to ease up on the workload but NEVER on the               expectations.

In practice this involves “walking the talk”

It also requires  being

transparent, communicating effectively, treating

employees fairly, teaching, leading employees to

excellent performance and responding to them as

mature individuals deserving of the truth, honesty and recognition for theiachievements.
