Maintaining ‘Management-Employee’ Relations

Have you ever wondered why unexpected attrition occurs in organizations? While money may be a factor causing employees to look for better options elsewhere, it is often the case that employees leave not because of the company, but because of their supervisor.

Today's generation of workers is less concerned with job longevity and more focused on finding satisfaction in their work tasks. To achieve this, employees often look to their managers for better and broader exposure in the workplace. It is the manager's responsibility to keep employees engaged so that work never becomes a burden.

Good communication skills, performance management, working on weaknesses, engaging employees according to their skills, maintaining a strong connection with employees, and other skills are essential for effective leadership. Small actions, such as asking about a subordinate's personal life, can make a significant difference in whether an employee chooses to stay with the company or leave. When an employee is constantly criticized or accused of poor performance, the office environment becomes hostile for that individual.

Developing strong relationships between managers and employees is essential for bringing about change not only in the workplace, but in the business world as a whole. Active listening and caring can help reduce attrition and foster loyalty to the company, leading to a better platform. Management must understand the creativity and skills of the individuals they employ and be flexible according to the situation's needs. Every leader must keep in mind that every employee is an asset worth investing in, and their individual capabilities should be utilized and maximized for the organization's benefit.
