Importance of Employees to the Business
Each employee is critical to the well-being of employees as a whole and efficiency of each employee is directly proportional to the customer’s satisfaction. Keeping an informed, equipped, and efficient employee is more important to the wellbeing of organization than the departments of marketing, sales, and customer service. In a similar way, organizational culture is the product of employees relations and a toxic culture has negative impact on company and the community in which it serves. A competitive firm in the market, especially the global companies, needs to have efficient employees for organizational growth. On the other hand, employees are the link between customers and top-tier leadership which makes the organization dependent on employees. Lastly, employees are engine of organizational growth because they not only undertake operational activity, but also work as brand ambassadors within the community and household from where the come.
