5 WAYS TO MAKE EMPLOYEES LOVE THEIR JOBS

by

It’s no secret that employees want to love their jobs and when they love their jobs, it ultimately means less turnover for your business.  Whether you’re looking to increase employee performance for your longstanding restaurant or are just starting out on a new venture and at the core deeply desire to build a highly desired work culture, you are the key to making employees

love their jobs.
We’ve rounded up five sure-fire ways to help your employees love working for you:
1. Money speaks, but so do other benefits. Love what you’re seeing from a manager? Appreciate it with a small raise in salary.  Along with a higher paycheck, offer benefits of all types that help to engage employees in your company – whether it be a free meal during each shift or a company wide dinner on you, no strings attached, offer the perks.  Employees go where they are given the most, and that includes what is offered beyond just a paycheck.
2. Did you know what technology you have impacts employees view of working for you? Whether it’s the latest software or computers, employees view the technology that aids their job as a huge part of their decision to stay or go.  Get the latest, keep it cutting edge.
3. You want employees to see you as a leader? Cancel the useless meetings and when you do have mandatory meetings, make them worth it. It all goes back to item #1 on this list, employees want benefits and not just cash. Try catering a local competitor for your next mandatory staff meetings – see how it encourages your own staff to “step up their game” and stay above the competition. Plus, your employees will love a free treat and appreciate the time they didn’t spend in hours of meetings boasting of low productivity!
4. Go beyond what happens inside your four walls. Each employee you hire has personal goals and ideas for where they see their future going. Engage in conversations to help make their goals happen. As an employer you hold the power to develop leadership skills which can prepare each employee for their next step. Get creative about how you can offer extra responsibilities to create outstanding character and prepare them for what’s to come.
5. Tune in! It’s time you start listening to employee suggestions. Sure you’ve held that annual staff meeting where you note down suggestions, but listening to employees goes far beyond that. Need a place to start? Hang up an “Idea Board” where employees can easily write up problems and solutions to help make their jobs better – and follow through with helping to make solutions a reality.
After all it’s no surprise that employees who like their job, enjoy the company culture and respect who they work for will ultimately perform better.  Get started today creating simple and smart ways for employees to speak up and be heard, feel appreciated for their hard work and enjoy their job on a multitude of levels.
