Thank you to Elaine Lung for asking this question in response to my earlier post about toxic workplace cultures, which you can see here: https://janicelitvin.com/my-boss-doesnt-give-a-damn/
These cultures are based on leaders unwilling to listen to or care for their workers.
So thatโs where the Answer begins – listening to and caring for employees. And acknowledging that without workers there is no work.
I have this saying – ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐ค๐ฎ๐๐๐จ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ.
๐ Happy employees are stimulated and motivated by an employee-first well-being culture.
๐ Happy employees share the overall purpose and mission of the company.
๐ Happy employees have a manager who spends time with them & exhibits empathy at all times.
That means their manager knows them so well that they can tell when theyโre having an off day. And when that day turns into several days, the manager doesnโt just sweep it under the carpet. They sit down with them or go for a walk with them and ask them how everything is going?
It really all boils down to a caring leader, who is not just focused on their own ego, their own accomplishments, and the bottom line.
A caring leader cares.
