From The Top: How Can Leaders Show Respect To Their
Employees?
The workplace can be a dreadful place for employees. Having to answer to superiors while
juggling various tasks can make a person dislike their current job. At the root of it all, the reason
for employee dissatisfaction is the lack of respect and acknowledgment they receive at work.
While most aren't aware that these practices are lacking in the office, it is not too late to include
these in the office culture. Below are some ways leaders can show respect to their employees:
Listen and truly consider their suggestions
Each employee has something to contribute to the team. Some of the introverted employees will
share what they have in mind if they will be assured that they will not be ridiculed or scoffed at
when they share their ideas. For the more outgoing ones, listening to their suggestions will affirm
them that someone is considering what they have to say.
Acknowledge their efforts especially in times of difficulties
There are times when things at work won't go according to plan. In times like this, it is easy for
leaders to put the blame on someone else or to express their anger. While employees should
know their faults and do their best to make things right, their leaders must be gracious to still
acknowledge their efforts even if it wasn't successful. Employees will feel they respected if they
are given a chance to grow and learn from their mistakes.
Reward them for a job well done
Some leaders take all the credit, forgetting that other members of the team have contributed to
the success of a project. Good leaders know better to acknowledge and reward employees
especially those who are working even without recognition. Treating them to dinner or giving them
a small token will show them that their superiors respect them. When people feel respected in the
workplace, they will do their best to fulfill the tasks given to them.
