All companies, regardless of industry or turnover, have a valuable and often untapped resource, their staff. It’s easy enough to remember that your employees are not just production tools, but people with their own preferences, strengths and emotions, and act accordingly.
The Right Managers
Managers and business leaders who are successful in business go even further. In addition to treating their employees as individuals, they treat them as true assets of their company.
Think for a moment about all these elements that allow you to gain a strong competitive advantage. Each one of them is closely related to the work of your employees. An advantageous price depends, among other things, on the ability of your staff to be productive. An extraordinary product depends on their ability to innovate as well as their desire to constantly improve your business process. For the engagement at work the options are perfect.
That’s why managing your employees should be an important part of your strategies to maintain or grow your business. Without them nothing would be possible, but with their support all your projects could finally come to fruition.
To achieve this, you will have to commit to sustained efforts. Rest assured that these will not slow down your activities and do not require a significant financial investment.
Reinforce the commitment of your employees to increase your profitability
Commitment to work is a concept that has grown in popularity in recent years. And, for a good reason: more engaged employees bring you more profit.
You are not convinced?
Know that according to and Institute, more than 450 billion dollars are lost every year because of the loss of productivity caused by the lack of commitment of employees.
This is a figure that makes you think. Especially when we know that some simple and inexpensive actions could have avoided the creation of such a deficit.
So what does this new concept of “commitment” mean?
Commitment to work differs somewhat from job satisfaction. A satisfied employee is not needed engaged. On the other hand, an engaged employee is almost always satisfied.
- Concretely, commitment to work means that your employees want to achieve optimal performance because they believe that the success of the company is associated with their personal success.
For their part, employees who are satisfied with their working conditions, their relationships with colleagues and their salary do not necessarily want to put all their resources at the service of the company. A magic wand will not be enough to turn all your employees into highly committed employees. There is no ready formula that will allow you to achieve excellence in this area in the blink of an eye. Your efforts must indeed be as sincere as they are sustained.
