How to make proud employees

A company with a positive self-image and sense of pride
will be more unified and efficient, with a stronger “employer brand.”
When employees respect and appreciate the organization they
work for, then their productivity, quality of work, and job
satisfaction increase.

Are your employees proud of working for your business? This sense
of pride may result from the organization’s purpose, success, ethics,
the quality of its leadership, or the quality and impact of its products.

What should you do?
• Carry out acts of corporate social responsibility—such as
donation, fundraising, or simply enacting more compassionate
business practices. These all serve to make current and potential
employees feel proud to work with your organization.

 
• Ask employees what they value—what would they like their
employer to do?

 
• Provide opportunities for employees to engage in fundraising
and volunteering activities.

 
• Avoid negative business practices. Employees will be less
motivated to work within an organization that is viewed negatively
in society.

 
• Remind employees of the ways their services benefifi t society;
how the everyday tasks they perform make a positive difference
within society
