“When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just ourselves or some immediate convenience” – Dalai Lama
1. Owner must take ownership – owner must lead with compassion and respect if the owner expects the employee to feel valued and in turn work to bring value to the client or customer. The business must be run with its core values in mind…consistently
2. Compassion and respect can be shown in helping employees with their needs
- An employee needs to be valued, developed, managed well, encouraged and motivated
- A employee that feels valued will receive constructive criticism well
- Notice when an employee isn’t feeling well
- Notice when an employee needs time off
- An employee needs to feel secure
- An employee needs to be listened to actively
Three studies have shown that when an employer values his or her employees, there is a healthy flow of communication in the workplace, there is improved employee retention, reduced stress and a more loyal, secure and transparency workplace.
