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.
