Provide employees with specific and frequent feedback about their performance. Support them in improving performance. Explain the employee's role in the organization. Show them that their work matters. Involve employees in decisions, especially as those decisions affect them.
Involvement equals commitment.
Create a partnership with each employee. Provide employees with a sense of ownership in their work and work environment. Strive to create a work environment that is open, trusting and fun. Encourage new ideas, suggestions, and initiatives. Learn from, rather than punish for, mistakes.
