The key to keeping your employees long-term is keeping them engaged in the job that they are performing with your organization. Only satisfied employees can become engaged employees so employee satisfaction needs to be number one on your employer/employee list of things to do. Communication with your employees is the only true way of really knowing if they are satisfied with their job and the environment they are working in. Cultivating meaningful relationships will create the environment that this can happen. As an employer you also need to make sure that the employees you hire are performing in positions that match their career goals, mismatched employees are never going to be satisfied and will always be looking for other employment. There are 4 areas of prime focus to create employee engagement the first is “the culture” of the organization, what are the basic foundations of your business? What does your leadership, ethics, values and vision look like? Ask yourself if you were an employee would you enjoy working in the environment of your business? Secondly do you provide “support and resources” for your employees continued growth in their position and opportunities for advancement? Third is the organization “people-focused” leading to growth and continued changes in the field in which you are a part of? Lastly does your organization seek to provide high levels of trust, pride, caring and fun for those who work there and for those you serve? The benefits of engaged employee are endless, it is always the business culture that will drive its employees to engagement or drive them away from it.
