LOYALTY
Loyalty is first and foremost about
reciprocity.
Employees should have the feeling that the
organisation wants the best for them, and
as a result they will continue to do their
best and not look for another job.
Employee loyalty is above all determined
by how the organisation has arranged
things and the way this is conveyed to the
employee.

How do you perceive a work
environment?

Do your perceptions and
expectations make you feel
valued and wanted in a job?
