YOU AND YOUR STAFF: STAFF EXPECTATIONS


As an Entrepreneur, you probably know what you want from your employees, but do you know what your employees want?

We understand individual differences comes into play when deciding what employees want from their employers but studies show six things stand out in employee expectations in the work place. Here is the first on the list;

1) RESPECTFUL TREATMENT OF ALL EMPLOYEES AT ALL LEVELS:

Top on the list is Respectful Treatment. Every Employee wants to be treated with respect. It will take a lot of tolerance on the part of the employer to respect those who depends on him for their livelihoods. But trust me its well worth the effort.

"Tolerance implies a respect for another person, not because he is wrong or even right, but because he is human" ~ John Cogley
Looking at our common humanity makes tolerance much easier. Gary Chapman said "Respect begins with this attitude: I acknowledge that you are a creature of extreme worth."

You will be doing yourself, your organization and your bottom line a world of good when you treat all with respect and you can take a cue from Albert Einstein; "I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university"
"A person's a person, no matter how small." Asserts Dr. Seuss

"People crave for more respect than love, because they expect love from few people but they want respect from everyone." ~ Amit Kalantri

Now you know the first of what your employees expects from you. Have been the kind of CEO that respects the workforce?
Bravo, if not change now. What does respect mean to you as person? Give same to others especially your workforce 

Au revoir!

The Journey continues

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
