Every successful businessman wants to have a company with happy people working in. One way to accomplish this is to focus more on what your employees want and less on yourself. Sure, it would be ridiculous to ask of you to forget all about your needs, but what you need to do is get out of your shell and look around the office.

Ask yourself – Are my employees happy? Are they satisfied? Motivated enough? Excited enough? What can I do to help?

Here’s what statistics show employees around the globe get excited about at their workplace and what they wish would be more included in their workdays.

  1. Honesty and Open Communication

    When your work place oozes a good working environment and employees can communicate openly, it frees the workplace of unnecessary tension and it cultivates trust in the long run.

However, don’t mistake honesty and open communication with too personal relationships. Once things get too personal in a work place, workers loose sense of duty and dedication to their work and they tend to loose respect for their colleagues.

Contrary to this, too stiff an atmosphere where workers feel like they are in a work-camp and not in their offices may be harmful for both your firm and your employees. At one point they will snap and leave and you’ll loose a great person in your staff.

So, as their superior it is up to you to create a professional yet pleasant environment to work in.

  1. Have Empathy

Having a leader aware of how important empathy is must be one of the most amazing things that can happen to an employee. Once leaders gain their status, they tend to forget they were once in their workers’ shoes too. Also, they start lacking professional mannerism in addressing people they work with, they loose touch with real type-conversation.

Don’t be one of those people, please. Keep your human side alert at all times. And, always be open to talking to your employees when they need your help. Once they realize they are appreciated and important to you, they’ll start being happy in their workplace.

  1. Verbal and Money Price

When you pay attention to how your workers perform without making it an inspection but rather a mentoring project, you’ll have a happy employee before you. Everyone loves learning from people more successful than they are as this gives them the chance to gain more experience and knowledge.

Once they do a good job, they’ll feel unappreciated if their work isn’t acknowledged. All employees love to feel appreciated and they should. When you notice your worker has accomplished great results, make it your business to let it be known. It’s what every single employee needs!

You can also opt for bonuses with their salary, or other forms of presents like vacations, spa vouchers, etc.

  1. Strengthened Employee Relationships

Team building is a well known activity meant for colleagues to get to know each other better. After all, we spend most of our days at work so it can get kind of unpleasant to sit with 20+ people in the office without at least knowing their last name and similar personal stuff.
Statistics show that employees feel happier with peer support and friendships at work! In fact, over 39 percent said they were more productive and 50 percent claimed to be more motivated and excited about their work day.

So, give your workers a chance to get to know each other by throwing office get-togethers or organizing office trips. This will give everyone a chance to find a little more about their fellow colleagues they spend hours and days working next to.

  1. Fairness

Most workers have observed that it gets hard to move up the ladder in certain jobs because there is so little fairness going on. Interpersonal relationships seem to be ruling the whole concept of getting ahead. This can be really tough on the introverts as they don’t build as many relationships at work which is why they tend to feel invisible. Be fair enough to appreciate everyone’s work, not just of those who are the loudest.

  1. Office Environment

For enhanced productivity, most employees agreed office environment can be either a real downer or a real energy boost! So, if your office isn’t looking its best, give it a little makeover. New coats of paint, new floor rugs, a few plants… and you’ll make a big difference!

In all honesty, we hope these insights helped. If you’ve got some other ideas, share them with us!
