7 Useful Ways To Treat Your Employees

An organization hires candidates to increase their work productivity by paying them a good salary and bonuses but paying them a good salary and bonuses is not.

Hiring good candidates is just the beginning of your business's success but treating them in a right and well-mannered way is necessary to increase work productivity and keep them with your business for a longer time period.

According to Sir Richard Branson:

“Clients do not come first, employees come first if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your business clients”.

So, treating the clients in a well-mannered way is as important as treating your business clients efficiently. 

Most small and large organizations nowadays fail to treat their employees efficiently resulting in higher turnout & recruitment costs, lesser productivity and longer organization learning.  As an individual or organization, keep in mind the success of a particular business entirely depends on the employee's performance.

7 Useful Ways To Treat Your Employees Well

Every employee in an organization wants to be treated well to stay longer with the organization and strive hard for its success.

In this article, we are going to discuss the top 7 ways to treat your employees well that most multinational companies use to make their staff happy while doing their jobs.

By following all these 7 ways you can easily make your employees happy and as a result, they will strive hard to increase work productivity and handle your business clients efficiently.

7 useful ways to treat your employees well

So, let’s discuss all the 7 ways to treat your employees efficiently.

1. Provide A Clean And Safe Workplace

Employees work more efficiently in a clean and safe work environment and as an organization, as it directly affects the well-being of employees and the overall success of the business.

It is a more “demonstrable way” to show some respect for your employees by providing them with a clean, safe, and professional workplace where they can easily work without any distractions.

Providing a safe and clean workplace to your employees might include:

1. Hiring professional security guards services or installing security equipment at the workplace.

2. Keeping meeting and break rooms clean and organized.

3. Having a well-lit and safe parking area. Get dedicated parking enforcement services, if needed

4. Hiring a cleaning staff for the office building for daily cleanliness.

5. Making employees Own & keep the workplace clean.

2. Encourage Your Employees to Open Communication

Good communication between staff and organization managers is a key to success as an organization, and it can not be ignored at and between all the hierarchical levels.

Usually, most employees in an organization hesitate to communicate with the higher management and due to a lack of good communication employees sometimes can’t give good performance.

In order to encourage employees to open communication organizations can ask managers to build a policy for open communication so that employees can openly speak without any judgment and that everyone is always available to listen to them.

3. Offer Competitive Benefits To Your Employees

Every employee in a small or big organization wants flexibility in working hours along with other benefits to be happy and stay longer with the organization.

Unfortunately, most organizations don’t pay much attention to providing competitive benefits to employees and as a result, they may leave the organization in order to seek the best opportunity.

The competitive benefits that you can offer your employees include:

1. Retirement plans -  depend on their jobs.

2. Health insurance - For individual, spouse & the children

3. Flexible working hours - Let the people set their own working hours.

4. Paying them on time

5. Incentives like inflation adjustments, fuel cards, discounted food at the workplace,  apart from the basic salary.

4. Improve Workplace social life

An organization must create opportunities for the employees inside or outside the office to give them relaxation. Employees' social events might include:

Picnic parties from the company.

1. Holiday parties.

2. Company retreats.

3. Department dinners.

4. Celebrating happy hours.

5. Team-building outings.

5. Employee's Birthday Celebration

Birthday is the most important day for every individual in the whole year and if that special day is celebrated in a special way by an employee organization, it can result in increased employee delights and a morale boost. It is a double-edged sword, delighting the individual and increasing workplace socialization by engaging & participating other members in such events 

Google and Microsoft have a tradition of decorating employee’s workspace and presenting a cake & cards. Taking a leap ahead, Google also provides “Birthday leave”.

Birthday celebrations can be made a “team celebration” with office decorations, card exchange, and group lunches to surprise the birthday folks.

6. Honest Performance Appraisal & Feedback

If an employee from your organization wants advice or feedback about their current performance then always be honest and transparent and provide the employee advice or feedback depending on their performance.

Explain what an employee is politely doing wrong and also advise if possible how they can improve the current performance.

Never discourage any employee in an organization that your performance is worse and use discouraging words like you’re not on the right path. Instead, you should always support the employees even if they are giving a bad performance.

Doing this will not only increase the morale of the employee but they will also improve their performance by working hard.

7.  Pay Your Employees Fairly And On Time

Every employee in an organization wants to be paid fairly and on time without any delay to bear their expenses. Most employees in the USA and Canada leave their jobs because they are not getting paid fairly and on time by the organizations.

In order to overcome this problem you should pay your employees on the 1st day of the month and if possible pay them weekly which keeps them happy while doing their jobs.
