Satisfied employees are a core value for every company

If you, as a manager, invest your energy above all in employee satisfaction, you not only prevent an increase in absences due to illness. More than anything, you also ensure that employees feel comfortable in the company and stay with it for a long time so that knowledge accumulated over the years is not lost. Satisfied employees are loyal and committed. They are not afraid of challenges and are also willing to go the extra mile. And they motivate their environment and pull their colleagues along.

Engagement makes the company flourish

But what does satisfaction mean? Some would like to equate this term with general frugality or complacency. But in my opinion, there is much more to it. Satisfied employees strive for success in their own actions and want to make a positive contribution to the company - they want to shape the future actively and with commitment. Studies also show that particularly successful companies with high productivity and profitability also have satisfied managers. Leaders who do their job because they have the necessary skills and tools, as well as the desire to take on leadership.

Appreciation unleashes potentials

Accordingly, managers who focus on the appreciation and development of their employees have a major influence on the profitability of their company. They are not only in a position to give feedback correctly but also collect it themselves and face it. They can recognize the motives and problems of their employees at an early stage. Like this, they unleash potentials and eliminate difficulties in time. They create ideal conditions for a growth-oriented corporate culture and a space in which employees have the opportunity to develop fully.

In this environment, employees can fully focus on their customers and increase their satisfaction - which has proven to impact the profitability of the company. It is, therefore, important not to see employees as mere human resources, but to create a climate of safe collaboration based on appreciation, trust, growth, responsibility, and self-organization.
