Keeping All Your Employees Happy

Posted on February 3, 2020February 3, 2020 by Larry

Making all of your employees happy isn’t exactly easy. They may all have different preferences and demands, but staff retention is important to work on. Offering good salaries and benefits packages is a good start, but you also need to think about keeping people happy while they’re at work. There are some things that you can do to help your employees get what they need.

Cater to Different Working Styles

People work in different ways. Some people prefer to work alone, while others thrive in teams. Some people like complete silence while some people work better with a bit of noise around them. Providing different spaces and tools can allow for people to work in the way that they want, which can help them to be happier and more productive.

Offer Work/Life Balance

Finding a balance between work and their personal lives is a priority for most employees. There are plenty of things you can do to help your staff enjoy this balance. You can do things like offering flexible start and end times or making it easier for your employees to take time off work when they need to.

Consider Generational Differences

There are currently several generations in the workplace at once. They can all have very different ways of doing things, and accommodating them all isn’t easy. However, a number of techniques can help you. Get to know your staff and encourage teamwork to get everyone working together. Take advantage of a multigenerational workforce by having more experienced employees mentor others.

About Us

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
