entrepreneur knows a good employee is even harder
to keep. As an entrepreneur, one must ensure his
or her company is staffed with people who look

Communicate Better
The importance of employee communications is
often overlooked. You should communicate with
them frequently, and actually speak with them
face-to-face. Your staff needs to know they are
valued, and communicating in person with them is
the best way to show your appreciation for their
hard work.

Support New Ideas
When employees come to you with an idea or a
solution to a problem they believe is for the
betterment of the company, its a sign that they
care. Supporting new ideas and giving an
individual the chance to run with it is
motivating, whether or not it works out in the
end.

Treat People with Respect
Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and
respect. Yelling, screaming, hurling insults and
accusations, and sarcastic comments create an
environment of fear and resentment, where
employees are motivated to do only enough not to
get yelled at, and no more.

Listen
This is probably the easiest thing you can do for
an employee yet, it can also be the most
difficult. Carving out some time each day to
listen to anything from concerns to ideas will
not only make your employees happy, it will also
provide you with much-needed insight on your
business from the people who help keep it running.

GET PERSONAL
This one is tricky because there is a fine line
that cannot be crossed. However, showing concern
and interest in the lives of each employee goes a
long way.Get to know your employees as people and
learn about their families, their career goals,
and truly care about them. I knew a manager who,
when one of his employees went above and beyond
the call of duty and put in extra hours, would
send a hand-written note to the employees spouse
along with a gift certificate for a night out.
