As an employee of a company, we definitely want to be known as the faithful or loyal. At first glance, those two words do sound similar, but if looking from the point of view of companies, we will be able to make a separation there.
For example: if we say that A is a faithful employee, usually an assessment was made under the old presence in the company concerned and he always did his duty faithfully, though not a lot of achievements produced during this period. Meanwhile, the sense of loyalty usually associated with achievement and ability that has been shown by the staff concerned.
On the one hand, a loyal employee who would have been through years of working long enough, but it is not only home to work, but has shown satisfactory progress and encouraging. Typically, loyalty has become more evident when there is an offer or the lure of more lucrative than other companies, but he decided to remain at the company where she works today. That's when we can say: "He is a loyal employee." In other words, people who are loyal certainly worth having its own loyalty, but the faithful do not necessarily loyal.
Often there are certain people who felt it was pretty loyal, but the company still viewed in a category devoted. Sometimes it is because those people feel you've done (and give) the best, but meaning 'best' they have not been in line with company-owned. Therefore, it is very important for us to build good communication, so that as leaders we can set clear standards - limits / standards such as what can be met by employees and we expect them to do more than that already set the standard. Thus, we can provide a 'material' that will help employees to evaluate and enrich themselves.
Determinants of loyalty
Inevitably, we must admit that it was hard to find people who excel and do their part with the faithful, because usually people who excel do not have the level of fidelity as expected. One reason is the relationship factor. We can see this relationship factors from different angles, for example: the relationship between leaders and employees. When employees feel that what he did was in accordance with the expected leader, and on the other hand also the leader of such a fitting reward, usually those employees automatically will show his loyalty.
In addition, I found that the factors of friendship among fellow employees can also be a supporter. If we have a colleague who always make it difficult or trying to topple us, though leaders like what we produce, we will usually choose to look for other workplace atmosphere more conducive.
Then, there is also a factor X. Factor X is actually talking about the reward obtained. There are certain people who choose to move to other companies that provide facilities or better compensation. Compensation is one factor to be considered by the company, so that when the company began selecting employees where employees who are 'liability' and which employees who are 'asset', based on potential and performance-my advice is, do not hold proper compensation they receive . Instead, give compensation above the average.
Characteristics of loyalty
Usually, someone who loves her job by itself will show loyalty. He was willing to work all-out, overtime and working harder than usual without thinking about compensation, because he likes the job. Unlike people who are still within limits 'faithful', people like these usually tend to continue to weigh the gain and loss for him.
People often have the characteristics of loyal idealists, where he was willing to do anything to work preferred. Such people are becoming increasingly rare, especially with the crush of life and an increasingly difficult economy, slowly but surely someone can lose the sides of the idealist that he has. However, know this: in times to come, as difficult as any conditions we will face, the company will continue to look for people who are loyal - those who excel and be faithful to do what part. Therefore, continued to keep the loyalty that you have; continue to improve achievement that you have won, then you will see amazing results.
Make sure we love our jobs, so we are willing to do it earnestly and wholeheartedly, regardless of compensation or reward. As we continued to show achievements, benefits or compensation will come by itself, following the achievements that we have come up.
Often, someone willing to compromise our loyalty because the pressure of the necessities of life - this has become a classic excuse. Due to insistence of the needs, someone willing to compromise what he believed so far, even at the expense of integrity. However, there are also other causes which are not the insistence of the needs. For people who already have a position or are in a certain economic level, the factor of money and need no longer be a significant problem. That causes them to compromise loyalty is because so far they feel unable to express or actualize themselves. When a person no longer has an urgent material needs, typically the requirement is for acceptance. Then, if those needs are met, he will have needs in terms of self-actualization. If unable to express or actualize the creativity as expected, usually people like this will find another place that is not too bureaucratic. But, if we as business owners or leaders see employees who are very accomplished and loyal, no one we allow scope for them to expresses themselves and bring creativity, because when someone is given the freedom to actualize himself, the person will become more loyal.
Nothing wrong with a company that already has a staff of HRD (Human Resources Development) started to provide training for its human resources department, so that they can function as a counselor for existing employees. Thus, when the employee has a problem, HRD staff can browse and extract the root of the problem. It will help employees to not get stuck too far in the issues they face.
Increasing levels of fidelity
In order to increase the level of fidelity to the level of loyalty in the work, first, come up with your achievements, the second, make sure you love your job, the third, build quality better relationships with colleagues and with the leader / owner of the company. When you are able to combine these three things, you will automatically be seen as a loyal person by the company.
Keep in mind this principle: when a company must take the difficult choice between maintaining some employees or lay off some of the other, any company would choose a loyal employee, achievement, loved his work and willing to do anything in order to actualize themselves.
