Facilitate Personal Growth.
Cultivate commitment to personal growth. Success isn't static – and
your culture shouldn't be either. Pay attention to what your best
people are achieving, and build an infrastructure that rewards
mastery. The best way to keep the most talented people is to allow
their jobs to change with them. Sometimes, reducing their
responsibilities will give them the space to tackle new
opportunities and to expand – and your business will expand too...

Inspiring People:
4 Strategies
"When companies are effective in satisfying their employees, employees stay
longer, make a deeper commitment to the business, recommend ways to improve
the company's products and services, and work harder to satisfy the
customer," says Mark Stevens.1
"In almost every
survey of factors that motivate employees in the workplace, job
satisfaction is at or near the top of the list, far surpassing pay and
benefits."2 Creating a work environment that encourages rapid
response to customers' needs and attentive follow-through is the key to
leveraging the power of your
service-profit
chain. This is only possible when people are
empowered to
make decisions and are
motivated to

solve problems.
Encourage employees to go beyond the literal boundaries of their jobs – to
make suggestions for improvement – and you will gain not just a part,
but the full potential of their contributions to the business.

Power of Recognition

more motivated by recognition than money. Despite this "it is rare that a
business has a systematic process for thanking staff let alone some other
accomplishment above and beyond. Simple fact many of the coming X and Y
generation won’t put up with coercion and fear tactics to keep a job. They
will seek out work places that are positive, productive, able to learn new
skills and enjoyable. In short Employers of choice or “Good Boss”™
environment."5

principle is that the things that get rewarded get done. The only way employees
will fulfill your dream is to share in the dream. Reward systems are the
mechanisms that make this happen...

Coaching
“Some data show the
quality of the relationship between boss and subordinate is a major
predictor of intentions to remain,” says Davis Fitzhugh, professor
of business administration at Harvard University. “→
Coaching,
which can help managers talk with subordinates about their
developmental needs, absolutely affects the relationship positively.
And that’s a big payoff.”
