3 Benefits of Strong Employer-Employee Relationships to Be Thankful For

1. Less conflict, higher morale

When employees are working closely together, conflict is inevitable. By putting a focus on fostering relationships between managers and employees, multiple levels of your organization are on the same page and can more easily resolve conflicts as they happen. With fewer conflicts that are solved more easily, a higher office morale comes naturally. Employees know their voices are heard and respected, and overall are happier and more efficient in their positions.

2. Help retain top talent

Within this newfound work environment of less conflict, higher morale, and stronger relationships, employee turnover slows down. The environment and culture your employees are working in is more stable, and therefore makes employees feel more comfortable in their jobs. The manager-employee relationship is the base for developing a better overall work culture, that keeps employees happy.

3. Increased productivity

These strong relationships are vital to not only individual employee productivity, but that of the organization as a whole. A reinforced culture of collaboration, teamwork and mutual motivation, makes employees work smarter and more efficiently. They always have each other and their supervisors to rely on for help, and are therefore better equipped to handle their individual workload.
