5 Ways To Inspire Employee Loyalty

August 6, 2020 by Tammie McKenzie

cowomen pd5FVvQ9 aY unsplashCreating employee longevity during a time of pandemic goes far beyond simply the amount an employee is paid. Employees are looking for tangible benefits, flexible working options and great communication. Statistics are showing that when employees see greener pastures, they don’t hesitate to make a move.

As employers are making changes to processes, marketing, budgets and more, the last thing they want to focus on is trying to find new employees. Now, more than ever it is important to hang on to your top talent. Check out these 5 ways to inspire employee loyalty.

1. Get to know your team and peers

Your employees are the heart of your company and heart health is vital to success. Making time to personally connect with the members of your team is a powerful way to help them engage and to feel valued. When people in leadership or managerial positions offer a listening ear while leaving judgment at the door, employees feel connected in a meaningful and authentic way.

2. Be a leader more than a manager

There is a distinction between what a leader is and what a manager is. Leaders offer direction and vision while a manager is more focused on assigning tasks and planning. While both roles are needed to propel an organization forward, the leadership role, if handled properly will cultivate positive employee morale and overall productive and positive environment. Leaders have the unique opportunity to use their influence to encourage and motivate the members of a team. When you look behind the curtains of some of the most successful businesses in the world you will see groups of people who are overall happy with their workplace or team, and who feel comfortable to go to management or leaders when a change needs to be made.

3. Openly express appreciation

Expressing appreciation to your employees is the best way to improve the output of work and to endear employees to your business. Whether the task is big or small, take a moment to let your team know that you see their great work. It is also important to acknowledge their willingness to work hard during a time when many are scared to go into work and are dealing with added stress at home. A little gratitude can go a long way!

4. Communicate Often

During uncertain times it is so important that employees hear from company leaders and team managers often. Communication over email is one way to accomplish this, but in order to open communication lines, having zoom and phone meetings allows for employees to be heard. Be sure to share as much information as you can to help your employees feel secure about their positions and the direction of the company.

5. Be proud of your company

Employees work better and stay longer when they can take pride in what they do. Employers who are proud of their organization, the way they are impacting the industry, the teams they have in place and the customers they serve, create a workplace where each team takes pride in what they produce. Some ways to show pride while still social distancing are, hosting Zoom parties with prizes, create ways to celebrater benchmarks and employee accomplishments and to share positive messages from customers or advisory boards.

While there may not be any shortcuts to achieving long-term commitments and loyalty from every employee in your organization, there are changes you can make to your current procedures that can endear employees to the work they are doing for you. By making employees a priority, employers find that their staff becomes a major propeller to growth and overall success of the business.

Making procedural changes requires a lot of focus and dedication and the burden of HR can make it hard to give these changes the time they deserve. By working with PEO Broker those burdens can be removed, allowing you the time to build processes that retain your top talent. Click here to contact me.
