Happy Employees

Most people work to meet financial obligations, but the money earned does not necessarily determine how employees feel about their jobs. Don Barrett, speaking at a Bane-Clene convention, said, "A little time and consideration for your employees will reap benefits for your company that translate into profit.

Don said, "Employees need feedback that they are performing well and too often the only feedback they get is criticism. They have a need to be treated as individuals and have personal lives with responsibilities other than the business. The company fits a different place in the realm of things for even a dedicated employee than it does for the owner.

"Respecting these considerations is a win/win. Employee job satisfaction will increase and happy employees are great assets to the company. Productivity increases, moral heightens, company image and customer service improves and employee turn over decreases, thus lowering hiring and training time and expense."
