subject: The Best Means To Treat Your Employees [print this page] Everyone who's worked at an office or in any other business has likely dealt with a boss who was unpleasant, demanding, and downright negative. This makes coming to work each day an unpleasant experience that you'd likely prefer to avoid dealing with altogether.
You are surely not alone if you have found yourself in a similar situation in the past. There are so many people who work for a boss that they truly hate, with the bulk of it being due to how they get treated while they are at work.
If you happen to actually be a boss, treating the employees who work under you nicely and fairly goes a long way towards getting the results you want. Treat them like you would want to be treated.
Let's discuss some things you can do to ensure that your employees are treated right by you. Do them correctly and you will be amazed at how well they work.
The first thing to do is to really show empathy towards all your employees. Get to know them and find out what the things are that mean the most to them.
Too many supervisors fail to make personal connections with their subordinates, and this leads to the stereotypical relationship between employees and bosses that we far too often see. Keeping it friendly doesn't mean you'll be walked on, as you can still have some firm rules in place despite this.
Give your employees lots of praise and rewards. Try to think how you would feel if your boss was always negative and never said anything good about you. You would not want to do the best job you could, right?
It is a fact that people thrive on praise. They are going to keep wanting it after they have gotten it once. As soon as they have earned it, be sure to let them know right away and this will make them want to continue doing things to get that praise.
Always remember that when everyone in the office is happy, success will happen at the same time you are having fun. There are not a lot of things in the world of business that can hold a candle to that.
