Hello friends Summarized! Are you a company owner or manager who wants to improve the performance and productivity of your employees? If yes, then this article is perfect for you to read. This time, we will discuss the principles of employee security and satisfaction, two things that greatly affect the motivation and loyalty of employees in your company.
Why is the Principle of Employee Safety and Satisfaction Important?
What is the Principle of Safety and Satisfaction
The principles of security and employee satisfaction are two basic principles that must be considered by every company in managing its human resources. The principle of security means providing guarantees to employees that they will receive protection, fair treatment, and opportunities to develop in the company. The principle of satisfaction means meeting the needs and expectations of employees, both material and non-material, so that they feel happy and satisfied working at the company.
Then, what are the benefits of implementing the principles of employee safety and satisfaction in your company? Here we summarize some important points:
- Increase employee motivation and performance. Employees who feel safe and satisfied will be more enthusiastic, take initiative, be creative and productive at work. They will also be more adaptable to changes and challenges in the work environment.
- Increase employee loyalty and commitment. Employees who feel safe and satisfied will be more loyal and responsible to the company. They will also be more willing to contribute and share knowledge with other colleagues.
- Improve the image and reputation of the company. Companies that apply the principles of security and employee satisfaction will more easily gain the trust and sympathy of customers, business partners, the government, the media and the public. Companies will also find it easier to recruit and retain quality employees.
Sample case
To provide a clearer picture of the application of the principles of safety and employee satisfaction in the company, we will provide an example from one of our clients, namely PT XYZ, a manufacturing company engaged in the automotive sector.
PT XYZ has a vision to become a leading automotive company in Indonesia by producing high quality products that are environmentally friendly. To achieve this vision, PT XYZ requires employees who are competent, professional and highly dedicated. However, in recent years, PT XYZ has experienced problems in terms of human resource management. Some of the problems encountered include:
- High employee turnover rate. Many employees resign or move to other companies because they feel insecure and dissatisfied with the working conditions at PT XYZ. This causes recruitment and training costs to be high, and reduces productivity and product quality.
- Low levels of employee attendance and health. Many employees are often absent or sick because of stress, fatigue, or injuries due to working in an environment that is less comfortable and safe. This causes a decrease in work efficiency and effectiveness, as well as increases in medical and insurance costs.
- Low levels of cooperation and communication between employees. Many employees do not want to work together or communicate with other colleagues because they feel unappreciated or not trusted by superiors or subordinates. This leads to conflicts, misunderstandings and errors in the work process.
After analyzing the situation and problems, we suggest PT XYZ to apply the principles of employee safety and satisfaction as a solution to overcome these problems. Some of the steps we recommend include:
- Create and enforce fair and transparent company regulations, as well as provide sanctions and rewards according to employee performance.
- Providing adequate, comfortable and safe work facilities and equipment, as well as preventing and mitigating the risks of work accidents.
- Provide opportunities and support to employees to develop their competencies and careers, either through training, education or promotion.
- Providing compensation and benefits that are competitive and in accordance with industry standards, as well as providing incentives and bonuses based on work performance.
- Give awards and recognition to employees who excel or contribute greatly to the company, both individually and as a team.
- Build a positive, collaborative and communicative work culture, and encourage employees to respect, appreciate and help one another.
After implementing the principles of employee safety and satisfaction for several months, PT XYZ began to see positive results. Several indicators showing improvement include:
- Decreased employee turnover rate. Many employees choose to continue working at PT XYZ because they feel safe and satisfied with the working conditions at the company. This results in reduced recruitment and training costs, as well as increased productivity and product quality.
- Increased employee attendance and health levels. Many employees are rarely absent or sick due to stress, fatigue, or injury as a result of working in a more comfortable and safe environment. This has resulted in increased work efficiency and effectiveness, as well as reduced medical and insurance costs.
- Increasing the level of cooperation and communication between employees. Many employees want to work together or communicate with other colleagues because they feel valued and trusted by superiors or subordinates. This leads to reduced conflicts, misunderstandings and errors in the work process.
Conclusion
From the examples above, we can see that applying the principles of employee safety and satisfaction is an effective strategy to improve the performance and productivity of employees in a company. By providing security guarantees and meeting the needs of employee satisfaction, companies can increase employee motivation, loyalty and commitment, as well as improve the company’s image and reputation.
