Relationship with managers ‘the most important of all’
A worker's most important relationship in the workplace is the one they have with their boss, according to one expert.Hilary Jeanes, leadership coach and human resources consultant at PurpleLine Consulting, said there is "lots of evidence" that this is the most important workplace association.
As a result, keeping morale high comes down mostly to the line manager and can be tricky – especially if they want to be consistent, she added.
The expert advised managers to create a good working environment and give employees, such as those in sales jobs, the tools to do the job.
"Security is important, as is a sense of belonging, team spirit, and friendship. Respect and recognition for achievement is an important factor, as well as providing the opportunity to grow and develop," Ms Jeanes elaborated.
Recent research carried out by Hays about the perks of working for a small business found that the opportunity to work more closely with senior staff was seen as a benefit by 88 per cent of staff, with respondents also identifying recognition from senior managers as another potential attraction.
