Everybody understands that you're supposed to say 'our employees are our most valuable asset' to the point where, even if it's really true, they're not going to really trust you until you've earned that - same with customers.
Wal-Mart is an amazing success story. What I particularly admire very much about the late Sam Walton was his policy of valuing his employees. Giving value to employees is very rare in the retail industry. I also admire the strategies Walton used to build up his discount store concept.
Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers. You can buy a person's hand, but you can't buy his heart; his heart is where his enthusiasm is. You can buy his back, but you can't buy his brain. That's where his creativity is. Treat employees as volunteers just as you treat customers as volunteers, because that's what they are. They volunteer the best parts - their hearts and minds.
Mr. Chamberlain loves the working man, he loves to see him work.
If you over-deliver and prove yourself to be an asset to the company, you will be rewarded as a result.
I care very deeply about the people at Tesla. I feel like I have a great debt to the people of Tesla who are making the company successful.
I expect that our associates will walk with a little more bounce in their step and understand that this company is behind them and has respect for them.
But I do know this: that the two and a half years that I've been at HUD, I am absolutely convinced that some of the best workers in the world are in Federal Government.
Someone who feels appreciated will always be & do more than expected. This holds true in love & business.
TNA has been extraordinary to me, nothing but professional.
The most important thing executives can do is send a very clear message to their employees that they care about each person's overall wellbeing and that they want to be a part of helping it improve over time.
I love my business. I love my employees.
We take such good care of our employees. What I do is think about what I would want my employer to be like. We started helping our employees with every facet of their lives, and our HR problems went from A to Z in reverse.
Union Rule 26: Every employee must win 'Worker of the Week' at least once, regardless of gross incompetence, obesity or rank odor.
You're a monster. Thanks. Does this mean I get a raise? No, just a medal. The budget isn't inexhaustable.
They’re very well treated down there. They’re living in the tropics. They’re well fed.
Members of the workforce must feel valued.
At Eventbrite, we care about the whole you, not just the employee you.
I know what it's like and how hard my assistants work, and I try to treat them as fair as possible and make the office a fun environment.
When you actually take the time to go over to somebody's office and personally thank them - whether their office is in a cockpit of an airplane, or in a break room - that's an actual manifestation of interest in them. You need to take the time to show the people around you who work for you that you're interested in them.
Leaders show respect for people by giving them time.
We want only loyal workers who are grateful from the bottom of their hearts for the bread which we let them earn.
I certainly feel appreciated at Chelsea.
On a personal level, I send out about 20 thank-you notes a day to staffers, on all levels. And every six weeks I have lunch with a group of a dozen or so employees, to get their perspective on the business, to address problems and to get feedback.
Isn't it ironic that pay, perks, and benefits all cost your company at the bottom line, but authentic recognition, especially when it's most unexpected, costs very little and gives the most impressive return on investment?
