Hmm, How Do We Keep Employees
Happy?
The answer can be a lot simpler than we think. That's what I learned in this week's episode of Beyond the Legal Lens when I spoke with someone who truly loves her job and the mission of her company.
Stephanie Singer is a Communications Specialist at Mercy Medical Angels (a non-profit that helps save lives with medical transportation for those in need). We discuss her trajectory and the reasons why her work environment is such a positive place for her. If organizations took more of these messages below to heart, I think we'd have much happier people out there (and I'd be out of a job :).
Love Everyone For Who They Are
(my favorite answer)
Allow Room For Creativity
Showcase and Appreciate Every Step
of the Way
If One Task Doesn't Work, Try Another or Help
Improve by Offering Continuing Education
Ask About Passions
Don't Be Afraid To Celebrate
Don’t Feel Like You’re Stuck in The
Office (volunteer together, or have staff outings like going to a
baseball game).
In short, it comes down to treating the employees as individuals with dignity. Sounds pretty easy, right? Let's Do It.
