RESPECT
Because employees spend many hours on the job, they need an atmosphere in which they are held in high regard—especially by their managers. When respect is absent, being at work feels uncomfortable. Every potential job represents an opportunity to get the respect an employee wants.
Simply, respecting employees matters more than anything else does. Without respect underlying your actions and communications, even your best efforts to improve the workplace will have little effect.
Respect is not a series of handy tips you can apply on occasion; it’s something that must underlie your relationships with your employees. Treating employees with respect takes time, effort, patience, and self-control. You will find the investment well worth while in increasing employee retention and satisfaction.
