Building a Relationship is Key to Employee LoyaltyPhoto Credit â€" Flickr.comYour employees are far less likely to leave or be upset at work if you’ve connected with them past the “professional” level. The effect grows when your business is a small one becaus e you’re more likely to interact with them on a daily basis.It’s understandable that in a business with thousands of workers, it’s almost impossible to get to know all of them, but you should still encourage people in positions of power to build relationships with their teams.Employees want to be understood. They want to feel like they have an influence on the company besides their daily duties and the best way to give them that feeling is to interact. Not everyone’s a natural leader, but there are places like Executive Coach International that specialise in nurturing executives.2. Don’t Hide Information from Your EmployeesPhoto Credit â€" Flickr.comBeing transparent is one of the most important decisions you can make for your business.

Create a Career Path for your EmployeesevalNo one wants to be stuck in the same job for a long period of time.

When you introduce them to your company, give them an idea of what they can expect if they work hard. Just the th ought of a promotion is enough to motivate your workers to put in extra work, but never lie to them and sell them false promises just to encourage them.
