Putting Your People First

put your employees first

How did we get everyone to wear that ugly shirt.....

I worked at the organization where this picture was taken almost 5 years ago.  I continue to grow and learn about organizational behavior and leadership, but one of the things that stands the test of time is taking care of your employee’s.

 Coming together to form a team.  A team that everyone in the organization wanted to join.  A team that was excited about our mission.  A team that was about getting the job done.

We didn’t start that way.  We had to break down the walls of distrust by addressing the “gorillas” in the room.  We had to reward promptly and in public and we had set a standard and follow it. 
 
I remember the first time I gave an on-the spot monetary award.  One of the ladies called The Lord, and jumped for the Heaven’s.  It was the first time in over 20 years anyone in the Department had received an on the spot monetary award.  That little bit of money bought the organization a fresh and motivated employee.
