What Is an Employer-Employee Relationship?

INTRODUCTION
Most companies aren’t concerned about the employees’ requests, whatever they may be; salary increasing, extra off days, good work environment & sanitary facilities to name a few examples since employers assume their employees will not leave the organizations. Generally, most employers’ are not concerned about the salary to employees’ contribution. But money is only one factor. More than salaries, most employees want to feel appreciated and the value of their work and life.
Loyal employees are the most valuable assets for any organization in the world. When a company loses a loyal employee, it causes the other employees to have reasons to start thinking.
So organizations need to manage the strong relationship with the employees and that will be vital to business success.


Take care of your employees and they will take care of your business. It's as simple as that. -Richard Branson
