The Ability to Care is the Foundation for Employee Engagement

I am the author of Recognize THEM - 52 Ways to Recognize Your Employees in Ways They Value. It is my first book.

Today's reading is from the first category: Care.

Defined as a noun, the word Care means the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance and protection of someone. For employee recognition discussion, a manager shows consistent care for the whole person will help us all recruit and retain the best of both for your company.

Today I will read from the book's Introduction. For the first episode, I read from the first two parts of my book:  Acknowledgements and The Wakeup Call.

Defined as an adjective, Care means the work or practice of looking after people, esp, the sick and the elderly. The caring manager is the manager whose team members consistently report the highest levels of engagement, achievement and career progress.

Employee engagement is built on our ability and willingness to care. Employee recognition is how we express this caring for our friends, co-workers, colleagues and peers in a professional setting. It is how we bridge the gap, uniting each person in a common cause towards a shared mission and purpose.
