All-stars live a charmed life! Think of the respect and perks provided to all-star athletes or celebrities. And these are people that most of our society has never even met! Your employees are a group of people you spend nearly every day with—probably more time than you spend with your own family. Instead of simply names on the payroll, why not treat your staff just as you would your family or friends—providing true all-star treatment? It can only benefit your company. When people are valued, they tend to rise to the occasion to earn your respect and admiration. Valued employees are productive employees!

Start Treating Your Atlanta Employees Like All-Stars

Motivate your employees to give 110 percent all day, every day! If they love where they work, good attitudes and high productivity come naturally! Try the following tactics:

• Provide rich employee benefits. Give your employees the tools they need to take good care of themselves and their families. Healthcare reform requires employers to offer a minimum level of benefits, but insurers and third-party administrators can help you build a great benefits plan for your company. Consider benefits such as 401(k), adequate vacation and sick time, profit sharing, competitive pay, a wellness program, an Employee Assistance Program, etc.
• Give recognition. Always recognize hard work and accomplishments, and do so in a timely fashion. Announce employee successes during regular staff meetings, company functions, on corporate social media or on the company intranet. This provides employees with the motivation to keep up the good work.
• Offer incentives, rewards and bonuses. Not much speaks louder than cash and prizes. If there’s a tangible thing to be earned for a job well done, most employees will up the ante. The key is offering enough value that it will land on employees’ radar.
• Host company outings. Holiday parties, sporting events, happy hours, work dinners or other outings encourage team building and respect among coworkers. Plus, getting to know each other outside of work can help build team synergy inside of work. Also, it’s a healthy to set the precedent that a good life is equal parts hard work and relaxation.
• Offer flexible scheduling. Help employees work around all the responsibilities they have outside of the office; this can improve their productivity inside the office. As long as your staff is getting their work done on time, it may not matter when during the day that work gets done.
• Provide avenues for healthy living. When employees feel good, it shows! Can your company offer healthier food options in the cafeteria, access to natural light, walking breaks, an on-site workout facility, etc? Perks like these can work wonders for employees’ attitudes and output.

Your generosity will go a long way!
When they are treated well, your employees will feel great about where they work—and that helps improve your output, increase customer satisfaction and build your reputation as a great place to work. All-star treatment is a win-win for all involved.
