They love their job, their company, their colleagues and their customers.
Love them back! Show your appreciation for their commitment through the rewards and recognition that are most important to them. - …Have A Voice In Their Organisation
They feel heard.
Stop and listen to your people. Solicit their participation through formal means such as employee forums and partnership schemes, and informal means by encouraging open dialogue between all staff. - …Run With An Idea
They don’t do the bare minimum and come up with new solutions, then put them into action.
Let innovation happen. Your people are greatest asset so take their ideas on board and give your employee the freedom to explore fresh ideas. - …Get their Hands Dirty
