Employees leave managers, not companies-الموظفون يتركون المدراء، لا ال

Quote: As a manager we are able to affect three levels of needs within this hierarchy – safety, love and belonging and esteem. These 3 levels represents different elements within the workplace. The first level - safety refers to job security, career progression as well as health benefits and perhaps even gym membership. How do your employees feel about their job? Are they constantly afraid of cuts due to the recession? Do they know that as a manager you care about their wellbeing as well as their work? The next level is love and belonging. People want to feel as if they are making a difference and are part of something bigger. As a manager how you approach giving out tasks, mentoring employees and interacting with them show how much you value their work. It is your duty as a manager to show employees how their work is making a difference and is part of a much larger plan. The worst thing for an employee is for them to think they are just another cog in a machine. The last level is esteem. This refers to confidence and respect. It is important to manage your staff in terms of how they feel towards the work and to their peers and managers. Respect within the workplace is extremely important and can be the difference between keeping a good employee or losing them. Training and development when necessary is a good way to boost confidence and equip staff with the right skills. Investing in your staff to help them upskill benefits both the company and the employees. Zig Ziglar once said that there was only one thing worse than training (or growing) your staff and having them leave, and that is not training or developing them and having them stay. A Florida State University (FSU) professor and two of his doctoral students have conducted a study which highlights the impacts of an abusive or poor manager/boss. They surveyed over 700 people who work in a variety of jobs and asked for their opinions of supervisor treatment on the job. The study revealed these results: 39%: Their supervisor failed to keep promises 37%: Their supervisor failed to give credit when due 31%: Their supervisor gave them the “silent treatment” in the past year. 27%: Their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers. 24%: Their supervisor invaded their privacy. 23%: Their supervisor blames others to cover up mistakes or minimize embarrassment Source: Florida State University These points act as a good checklist to see how you are managing your staff because at the end of the day employees leave managers and bosses, not companies! —- 7th Feb 2013 – This article made it to #1 on Hacker News.
