Friendly reminder if your employee needs a day off, has family emergencies etc, work with them!

Friendly reminder if your employee needs a day off, has family emergencies etc, work with them! They will remember and will put more effort towards the community. Show them understanding. Don't make them feel that the job comes first before their kids, family etc!

You should allow every now and then people to go home early or scatter schedule. It works. If someone is late as long as they work hard and their work shows who cares?

The more you show appreciation and understanding the more your employee will do for you.

Maintenance should get more than one week vaction in one setting during the holidays as they work hard and are on call ,they do alot. Feed them weekly, food goes along way! Simple gestures go along way!

Take your team out to team building events !

Oh and when employess have to be out for emergencies don't hound your employee, or stress them out more. Let them handle their personal business without being more stressed.

Also if you have a lot of turnover when interviewing be 100% honest let them know what to really expect, stop painting a pretty picture and then once they begin working it's not what you painted. Value your employees for less turn over.
When potential employees tell you what they expect from the company and team they work for, listen . Make sure your team and company can give them what their expecting.

Employees if you feel under appreciated, or want to see more speak up.
Stop not speaking up, if your manager is disrespectful, rude or treats you a certain way speak up .

If your supervisor makes you feel that way speak up without fear of HR firing you.

To many employees feel stuck, unappreciated.
People need to speak up way more. Just what I noticed.

ABSOLUTELY YES!

I can't tell enough how important it is to not stress maintenance more where there's a big emergency, asking about it every 15 minutes and generally just you stressing about it while someone is doing something to fix it makes the task so much more difficult to complete. Just relax and let them do their thing, you should trust your maintenance team to things done.

Well said Kristina

YES. YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

THIS RIGHT HERE

AGREED!!!!

All truth! People have lives outside of their job. I am very open to whatever my employees need, no explanation no hassle, just let me know.

Yes....the more you hound someone the less they are getting done because of the time spent moaning and rolling their eyes.

So very true!

Empathy. One of our CORE values.
