As most everyone that reads the weekly TRIPLE III TIME blog messages knows… JOBS ADVANCEMENT and WORKPLACE IMPROVEMENT have been my career-long focus. Whether my role has been an Agency Director or Innovation Consultant… helping businesses and organizations, become better both internally and in the marketplace… was/is a center point component in all of my efforts. So this week’s TRIPLE III TIME message, Employee Loyalty To The Workplace… is a long overdue… necessary progress-building topic.

“Employee loyalty refers to the dedication, commitment, and allegiance exhibited by employees towards their organization, resulting in long-term engagement, productivity, and a willingness to go above and beyond in their work.”

 I borrowed this Employee Loyalty definition from a recent online article I researched as I began writing this message. So as I continued to assess the status of Employee Loyalty in today’s workplace… general observational research has shown that it has declined due to:

• Fast and continuous workplace product/service changes,
• Impacts of technology and educational expectations,
• Lack of historical value…

but has it now become a renewed critical factor in almost every workplace… YES!!

The goal therefore for this week is to re-stress the high need and value of Employee Loyalty To The Workplace! Think about all of these factors:

• It builds a positive workplace culture
• Helps retain and recruit the right people
• Justifies additional investments (tools/trainings/fringe benefits) for employees
• Encourage two-way, transparent communication
• Increases recognition of the need for a steady life-work balance.

Bottomline: Business/organization LEADERS are statistically (79%) most responsible for Employee Loyalty advancement. So lets ask the question: Does your entity prioritize Employee Loyalty? Do you have policies and progress examples of enhancing Employee Loyalty?
