is due. Tese are vitally important words when applied to business and working towards success as a team regardless of how large or small your company may be. People like to be acknowledged for a job well done. Tey want to know and understand that what they’re doing is making a difference. Tey want to be productive. Tey want to be involved in a culture of business that absolutely inspires them to do a better job. Coming to work makes them feel good about they’re doing. How many times have you seen employees at other companies look bored, disinterested or not fully engaged? Observe your business associates daily. Pay attention to employee attitude. It only takes a moment to give credit for a job well done. It’s everything to your company’s success. It means the world to good employees.
3.) CARE ABOUT YOUR EMPLOYEES. Remember: Employees are people. Tey have wants and needs just like anyone else, including yourself. You can take good care of employees in many ways including pay and other company benefits offered but also through on-going training, recognition, remembering birthdays and work anniversaries or just saying “hello” each day. It’s also about providing inspiration to further motivate individuals. Create a work place environment that’s bright, clean and has the necessary tools to perform jobs properly. Look at each employee as an individual rather than just someone who does a job for you.
4.) KEEP YOUR PROMISES. How often have you witnessed business people promising things yet never keep their word? Either they forget, get too busy or preoccupied with other things deemed more important, think no one will remember their words or just say something because it sounds good at the time. Tis is one of the worst business practices. It creates doubt, disappointment and distrust in working relationships with employees. Don’t promise something you can’t live up to. Tat includes doing annual reviews on time, following up on career development with your employees and even those Friday office lunches together or Monday morning meetings with coffee and donuts. Keeping your word means a lot to good employees.
5.) TRAINING. One of the biggest mistakes CEOs, presidents and business owners make regards training. Te business mistake made is not training your employees enough to do their job as well as possible. No matter how successful your company may be, it will continue to be successful with ongoing training at all levels of the company. If your company is in a period of challenges, don’t stop training employees. It could be one of the keys to getting your company back on track. You never want your employees to get bored with their work or with their job. Tat’s when their mind
begins to wonder; they start to think: Maybe there’s a better place I could be. Maybe I could make more money. Maybe I could find more interesting work. Ten on a lunch break, they are online looking at the possibilities for a new job at a different company. Tat’s why it’s so important to train your employees. Not just when newly hired but even the most senior members of your staff need training. It gives people new ways of thinking; new ways of doing things. Otherwise, how can you expect them to do better – and for your company to do better? Training helps good employees become great employees!
6.) ARE YOU LEADING YOUR COMPANY? Don’t answer this question quickly. Tink about it. Are you truly leading your company as a CEO, president or business owner? As I always say: Leaders lead. No excuses! As a leader, how are you increasing your skills, your knowledge to improve the business? Do you encourage and support the success of others? Te moment you stop leading; the moment you stop learning, is the moment you open the door to allowing more mistakes to happen which will cost you business; if not the company and your dreams of success. Good employees look to you for leadership and guidance, so they can excel at their jobs. Tere are so many things that require your attention every day as a CEO, president or business owner. Tere are certainly more than 6 business mistakes that cause good employees to quit at your company.
Sit down, think about and analyze yourself, your business
and what you’re doing to manage, lead and operate the company effectively. How can you better hire, motivate and encourage the people that work for you? It’s an ongoing process. But you’ll find the employee retention rate to be greater when you find what works best for your company. Everyone will be happier. Tere will be less stress. Te company will be recognized as a pleasant place to work with good management, great products/services and long term, good employees.
To your success! y
