If you want to keep your business in tip-top shape then you need to know the one key factor in maintaining employee relations.
It doesn't just affect relations with you, but how every single person in your company interacts with each other. Have you worked out what it is yet? It's simple – respect.
If you respect your employees, they will respect you and each other. A good way to earn respect is to give positive feedback for a job well done.
Action step: So if you haven't done so already, why not work on praising your team this week?

May 03, 2013As an employee, I totally concur with what you wrote above. Nothing beats being respected and appreciated for a job well done (aside from a big fat monthly bonus). :) I think that more bosses need to take this into consideration because when they treat employees like dirt, their morale drops and this plays a huge role in productivity and efficiency.
