How Investing in Your Employees Benefits You and Them!

July 25, 2014

You’ve probably heard the old axiom: Investing in your employees is the most important investment you can make. But unlike some more tangible investments such as technology, supplies or infrastructure, sometimes understanding exactly how investing in your people benefits your business is not always immediately clear.

Investing in your employees goes beyond simply offering higher salaries, a matching 401K or health benefits, though those can be important, too. By creating a healthy work environment, improving communication, developing skills and encouraging work performance, training managers in effective team management, you’ll find your employees will not only be happier and more productive, but also more dedicated to the company and likely to stick around for the long haul. By retaining top talent, boosting productivity, and developing an environment that motivates employees, your business will grow steadily and sustainably. You’ll also develop a reputation as a desirable workplace, which not only attracts future talent, but also creates a positive image for your business within your industry and to your customers.

how investing in your employees benefits you and them

There are many different ways that you can invest in your employees, and it can depend on the resources you have available. Fortunately, there are many opportunities to invest in them that don’t require major financial demands. Here are a few ideas that successful businesses have found to be effective:

  • Thoughtful Leadership – As an employee, when you feel a sense of pride in your work and are recognized for your dedication, you are likely to be much more motivated. Create an environment where an employee has the autonomy to make decisions for their team and is recognized for their achievements, and they will not only be more productive, but bring a great deal of credibility and respect to your company.
  • Personal Time Investments – Take time to get to know your employees by taking them out to lunch and spending time with them outside of work. By showing your employees that you care about them individually, you’ll create a healthy and trusting environment where people will want to dedicate their energy.
  • Network Expansion – Introduce your employees to important industry leaders and provide them with opportunities to develop bigger business networks. They will not only feel empowered and connected to the success of your company, but they will also help you grow exponentially.
  • Career Advancement – Provide opportunities for employees to take on more responsibility and be considered for promotions within your company whenever possible. When your best employees are recognized and given opportunities for career advancement they become more loyal to your organization.
  • Education And Training – Sometimes your employees can achieve more success for your company when they learn new skills through training, seminars or classes. This may include on-the-job training, seminars offered by training companies or trade organizations, or classes offered at a local community college or university. While this may require financial investment on your part, the payoff for your company can be huge.
