Employees, Assemble!

Katie Paine explains why and how we need to measure what employees think. Within the first paragraph of Chapter 10 of “Measure What Matters,” I was thinking about employees completely differently.

Paine states, “employee morale and sentiment are closely tied to sales and profit” (149), which is why a company should take the time to measure their perception of the company. The higher the morale, the more profit you are making.

When an employee recommends a company as a great place to work, this lowers recruitment costs. Employees are more likely to advocate for your products in online reviews. If the company does its job of convincing its employees to stand behind the mission and vision statements, the employees will be more productive (149). 

I’ve never really thought about employees this way. I am about to enter the workplace and want to work for a company that I will advocate for the products, recommend it as a place to work and strongly believe in the mission.
