How to pick a LOYAL EMPLOYEE ?

Employees are the strength for any company. So where employees are concerned, loyalty has nothing to do with blind obedience, or unthinking devotion, or length of tenure. In this tough situation, selecting an employee who is actually loyal and faithful, is a job which can either be completed in a blink of an eye or it may take years finding such a gem for your company. By keeping in mind the factors mentioned below, you can easily tell whether a particular employee will prove to be a loyal one or not.

1. A loyal employee will treat you like a person.

Loyal employees share their opinions with you even when they know that you may not initially appreciate those opinions. Remarkably loyal employees flip the employer-employee relationship because they know you want to help them in attaining their goals and that you want to provide them what's best for them. So, in return, they prove to be very helpful for your business.

2. A loyal employee will tell you what you least want to hear.

Remarkably loyal employees know that you most need to hear what you least want to hear. Like, they will tell you that your ideas may not work, your point of view is off, you made a mistake but no worries; if they think about you that much, they will definitely help you grow exponentially.

3. A loyal employee will do what she has to do for the betterment.

An employee who consistently seeks to do the right thing is not just following a personal credo but she is also looking out for your long-term interests. You may see her as a disloyal employee today, but eventually you will realize that she has always displayed the highest form of loyalty.

4. A loyal employee has blind trust in you.

Loyal employees trust you because they have been loyal to you. After all, they have put your preferences and interests ahead of their own for a number of times. And now they expect that you will do the same for them.

5. They generate discussions others will not.

Mostly loyal employees hesitate to voice their opinions in a group setting and some even hesitate to voice their opinions in private too; but they have a great feel for the issues and concerns and they ask questions when others won’t.

In fact, everyone loves loyalty.

... and now it is your turn to do the same for them as they have always been by your side through the toughest times.

Always remember:

The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.
