Today, I learned that a good friend of mine resigned, and he worked in a well-known technology company, and many people sharpened their heads to get into the company. I asked him why the expected answer would be "I need a bigger challenge," or "I'm going to need more room for this position, but he says," I'm fed up with my boss. "
He made me think of all the people who resigned just because they couldn't stand the boss. The work is exciting, the team is very harmonious, but the Boss (manager) is unbearable. In this case, what you can see is the continual loss of a good employee, and all the management sits around the conference table trying to figure out the crux of the brain drain and thinking about how to retain the staff.
Retention of talent, this is the real problem in front of all business managers. The key to keeping a good employee is not particularly about the salary the boss offers or how much/what kind of work they are given, but more importantly the management methods of the manager and the feelings of the employees working under such managers. Do employees feel the value of themselves in the team? Does the boss have timely feedback on their demands? Do they feel the support and help of their superiors as a team/company leader?
Abraham Maslow is an American psychologist whose best-known contribution is to create a hierarchy of needs theory that you can see below.
Managers have the ability to influence three levels of demand in this hierarchy-security, love & belonging and respect. In a workspace, this three-tier requirement represents three different things. The first layer-safety, refers to work safety, career development, but also include health care. What does an employee feel about their work? Are they worried about the risk of layoffs every day in a recession? Do they feel that their bosses care about their health just as they do their jobs?
The next level is love and a sense of belonging. People want to feel different and want to be part of something important. As a boss, how do you arrange tasks, instructors, and communication with them, showing how much you value their work. It's the boss's responsibility to say to employees that their work effort creates a difference, and that they are part of the company's larger future. A bad thing for an employee is that they think of themselves as just a screw in a machine.
The last layer is respected. Be trusted and respected.
The important point of enterprise management is how to make employees feel positive about their work, colleagues and managers. Being respected in the office is a very important point for employees, and it can lead to a good employee's going and staying. It is a great way to motivate their self-confidence by conducting the necessary training and coaching to give employees the right life/work skills. Investing in employees, providing their skills, is good for the company and for the employees. Zig Ziglar once said that there is only one thing worse than training your employees, nurturing them, and then leaving them, that is, you don't train them, don't train them, but they still stay.
A Florida State State University professor and his two doctoral students conducted a study that focused on the negative effects of those who do not respect people and poor ability of managers/bosses. They surveyed 700 people who worked in different positions and asked them what they thought of their boss/work superiors/leaders.
The study revealed the following results:
39%: The boss does not keep the promise, speak not count words
37%: The boss should not reward when the reward
31%: The way the boss treats employees is "cold".
27%: Superior managers/bosses speak ill of them in front of other employees and managers.
24%: The boss infringes on their privacy.
23%: The boss used to blame others to cover up his mistakes or embarrassment.
These questions can be used as a good checklist to examine how bosses manage their employees, because ultimately, employees resign not because of the company, but because managers or bosses!
Employees resign in order to stir the boss squid, not dissatisfied with the company
