employee innovation. Many employees enjoy working in a cutting-edge environment that encourages
creative ideas and personal innovations. Employees who feel that they are contributors to the
company's strategic direction may feel greater ownership of their work, which often leads to enhanced
commitment. Communicate frequently. Most employees appreciate transparent management because it
keeps them informed of executive decisions that may affect their jobs. Consistent corporate
communication helps minimize negative rumors that would otherwise damage employee loyalty. Take
steps to retain employees. Let them know their work is appreciated. Institute company loyalty
programs. Visibly honor and promote employees who work hard and demonstrate commitment to the
organization. Institute tenure timetables rewarding the commitment of long-standing employees. Use
the organization’s history to install a desirable corporate culture. Some companies have a long history
full of uplifting stories contributing to the company culture and encouraging continued loyalty. Tell
these stories during employee orientation to instill commitment in new employees. Create a rich
employment environment. Host employee events such as picnics and holiday parties. Make the
company a fun place to work.
