Employees can become afraid of their bosses. Most managers think that they are superior to their fellow coworkers. A great manager is able and willing to step in and help out with the situation. Take a step back and listen to what your employees have to say. If they are a great employee you want them to stay with the company, but if they feel like you do not care what they say and you do not make them feel special they can leave and go to another company that will make them feel this way.

Communication is very important in the work place. In order to solve present problems, you have to be willing to listen to what other people have to say. They might have the solution or spark an idea. Listening to your employees makes them not only feel important but it makes them feel like their opinion is valued which also shows respect.

Wow! What an insightful article! More bosses should adopt Patrick's philosophy and listen, truly listen, to their employees and the business world would be a much better place. Don't we all feel more valued and appreciated when we are listened to at home, by our family members, and friends? The same holds true for the work place. As manager, I made it a point to make my employees feel valued and like they were an important part of our team. I tried to make them feel as if their opinions and ideas mattered and I did truly consider and use many of them. Not only did it help me to run a more efficient store, but it also helped me to earn the respect of my employees and have much better morale at work. Now that I've left the company and am teaching, I try to listen to my students and let them have a say in how our classroom is run. I'm hoping this will yield similar results.

As someone who has managed a restaurant, I feel like it is very important to listen to what your employees have to say. This is one of the many ways you will be able to fix problems that are already relevant or may be soon. Show that you are concerned about what your employees are saying. Act on the feedback to produce a better work environment. Doing this for your employees will let them know that you care and in the end can really help with productivity and morale. If certain problematic situations continue to be overlooked your employees will lose sight of that end goal.

It is important in an organization to have good communication between a manager and employee. If communication is weak it can hurt the relationship between the two and decrease productivity. A manager should listen to an employee's idea not only because it will increase productivity but it may be a good idea for the organization. Sometimes managers get caught up in their position and start thinking that they have the best ideas. If more managers were to move away from those mindsets it can help an organizations grow.

To make employees want to work for you and to be able to attract indivduals with a strong work ethic, you need to be able to have an open, friendly environment. Although you want to make sure you maintain a professional workplace, you do not want to come off as intimidating. Employers want their employees to say "This is where I want to work". Employers must be willing to listen to their employees. This will help close the gap from a lack of communication. If an employer is open to accept critiques, an employee will sense the friendly atmosphere and feel respected as an individual. This in turn will make them want to work harder so that they are able to stay with the company long term.

I believe it's great to work at a place that allows you to voice opinions and ideas and have them heard. It encourages more thinking and creativity. It's also a way to receive feedback on the way things are done at the business. Employees can offer a different viewpoint to the way you do business that may benefit the company.

As we discussed in the previous article employee input can help with making employees want to work for your company. Making employees happy gives you more production and more production gives you more profits. As this article states having the time and patience to listen to employee input can be difficult. Training or finding managers who have patience and willingness to listen to employees can be a benefit to your company.

You have to listen to your employees needs and there ideas. They could have great ideas for ways of fixing things and also ways to be more productive. Never think that your way of doing thing is the only way to do it. Be better then that and listen to your employees you may learn something.

This article with Patrick Scheuermann is basically about listening to your employees. Sometimes your employees will have information about something you don't know about and you may benefit from. Sometimes it is good to listen to your employees. Patrick Scheuermann says the employees feel comfortable sharing their ideas and giving their feedback, and agree. I know most of you people been in that employee's position and know how it felt when your boss rarely listen to you.

As a manager or boss, you hire employees that your trust and that are qualified for the position. Therefore, you should take the time to listen to there ideas and thoughts on different things. If you ignore your employees and are not open to their ideas then they will lose their loyalty to you. Also, they will become less motivated because they are not involved in anything and do not feel important. It is important for managers to be able to take the time to listen to their employees so that they feel valued and like they are an important asset to the company. This will boost productivity and efficiency within the company.
