Employees, especially new employees, have no interest in hearing about your go-to topics like your last vacation or your antique collection or your beach house.<br \/>\nNew employees want to feel like they belong, but more importantly they want to know how they\u2019re doing. Long-term employees want to know you care about them; talking about yourself only shows you care about yourself.<br \/>\n<strong>2. \u201cCan\u2019t you see I\u2019m really busy?\u201d Here\u2019s what happens.<\/strong> You stop by to talk, the employee stops what they\u2019re doing to chat with you\u2026 and when you walk away they\u2019re behind and have to catch up. Employees want to talk to you, but they have work to do, too. Sometimes there\u2019s an easy answer, especially if the employee\u2019s job involves physical tasks: Help out while you talk. Not only will your employee appreciate a little help, your conversation will be less forced. In other settings, pick your spots carefully.<br \/>\nNever interrupt an employee who is busy simply because today you\u2019ve decided to \u201ccheck in with the troops.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>3. \u201cI can tell you really don\u2019t care about my personal life.\u201d <\/strong>Walking up and asking an employee a generic question like, \u201cHey, how are your, um, kids?\u201d or, \u201cAre you doing anything fun after work?\u201d or, \u201cHey, who do you think will win the cricket worldcup this year?\u201d comes across as forced and insincere, at least to your employees. Either take the time to get to know your employees well enough so you can have a decent conversation or just stick to work-related subjects. (Employees definitely prefer \u201call business\u201d to \u201cpseudo-personal.\u201d)<br \/>\nOne way to show employees you care about them as people is to follow the 20% rule: When you\u2019re talking to employees, never talk more than 20% of the time. The single best way to show you care is to listen.<br \/>\n<strong>4. \u201cYou claim you respect me\u2026 so give me something important to do.\u201d<\/strong> Assigning an employee a critical task is a definite sign of respect. Do it as often as you can.<br \/>\n<strong>5. \u201cYou claim you trust me\u2026 so give me something important to do and let me decide how to do it.\u201d<\/strong> It\u2019s only natural to tell your employees how to do their jobs; after all, it\u2019s your business. Still, when you assign a project without providing a lot of direction your employees instantly know you respect their abilities and trust their judgment.<br \/>\nEmployees appreciate respect; they love trust.<br \/>\n<strong>6. \u201cActually, I would like to work here a long time.\u201d<\/strong> The average person switches jobs a number of times before they\u2019re 30-years-old.  Some leave for money, but many leave because they can\u2019t stand their boss. No matter what your industry, high employee turnover doesn\u2019t have to be a fact of employment life. Find out why employees leave and address the causes. It\u2019s stressful to change jobs, so most employees won\u2019t start job searching until you give them a reason to.<br \/>\nWatch, listen, take smart actions\u2026 do your job right and most of your employees will stay.<br \/>\n7. \u201cThat gift card is nice, but a simple \u2018thanks\u2019 is really all I need.\u201d Sure, every time you hand out paychecks you\u2019re implicitly saying thanks, but not really. Find reasons to thank your employees as often as you can. Look for an accomplishment, however small or fleeting, and express your appreciation. \u201cThanks for taking care of that difficult customer.\u201d \u201cThanks for jumping in and helping Ms. Sweta.\u201d \u201cThanks for letting me know we have a problem in the warehouse; I hadn\u2019t realized orders were consistently shipping late.\u201d<br \/>\nSay thanks benefits both of you: The employee feels appreciated, and you get a great way to start a meaningful conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What your employees won&#8217;t say could be what you most need to hear.
