If you treat your employees well, they will not only be happier and more productive, but more satisfied with their current pay, as well. Here are a few things that employees value even more than money.

5 Things Your Employees Value More than Money

1. Coaching rather than being micromanaged.

Every employee needs your help at times, but they don’t need you checking in on them continuously. Hire good people and get out of their way.

2. Fair treatment.

Employees hate it when all the good projects, perks and promotions consistently go to the same individuals… who often don’t deserve them. Be sure that you reward everyone on your team in proportion to their contribution.

3. Mutual respect.

Your staff wants to feel respect FOR you and FROM you. Once you establish this in both directions, you’ve got a loyal employee who will give you all she’s got.

4. Personal time.

Just because you work crazy hours, doesn’t mean that you should have that expectation of your staff.

5. Pride in the organization.

Give your employees a reason to boast about their workplace. If they have the sense that they’re on a winning team, they’ll share it with the world!
